About the Organisers
Nigerian College of Aviation Technology Alumni Association
The NCATAA Alumni Conference & Exhibitions 2026 is organised
by the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology Alumni
Association (NCATAA), the alumni association of the Nigerian
College of Aviation Technology, Zaria.
Our shared connection to NCAT brings together people with
different aviation disciplines, professional experiences
and career journeys. This conference creates an opportunity
to draw on that experience and engage the wider industry
in a constructive discussion about Nigeria’s aviation future.
Why We Are Convening This Conference
Aviation challenges cut across institutional and professional
boundaries. Airline performance is connected to airports,
air navigation services, regulation, infrastructure, finance
and the availability of skilled people. Progress requires
these perspectives to be considered together.
Under the theme “The Aviation Industry in Nigeria Today
and the Way Forward,” we are convening this conference
to encourage open discussion, exchange practical experience
and identify opportunities for cooperation. We welcome
contributions from alumni and non-alumni alike.
The Conversations We Are Bringing Together
An Invitation to the Industry
We invite professionals, public institutions, businesses, educators and emerging talent to take part. Whether you bring operational experience, policy insight, investment capacity or a new solution, your contribution can help make the discussion more useful.
Join NCATAA on 1st–2nd December 2026 at Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Ikeja – Lagos, Nigeria.
Register your interest in participation, sponsorship or exhibition and help advance the conversation on the way forward for Nigerian aviation.
