Wednesday June 11, 2025

The Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) unites aviation professionals to exchange ideas and forge essential partnerships. To connect with leaders in aviation and small businesses supporting the industry, Hensel Phelps will attend the 40th Annual AMAC Airport Business Conference in New Orleans from June 28 to July 2, 2025.

The AMAC Conference provides us with these essential networking opportunities. If you will be joining us in New Orleans, stop by booth 315 to meet our team of experts.

What is AMAC? 

AMAC is an organization that collaborates with federal entities, aviation trade groups and strategic partners to provide key resources in the aviation and aerospace industries. AMAC’s members include airports, corporations and a variety of small businesses. 

In 2025, AMAC and the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) will present the 40th Annual Airport Business Conference, expected to connect over 1,500 participants, including aviation professionals, businesses, government officials and thought leaders. The conference serves as a platform to discuss vital issues such as business opportunities at airports and policy initiatives impacting the aviation sector. 

Trade Partner Outreach: Building Runways for All 

At the heart of the AMAC Airport Business Conference lies a commitment to building opportunities through dynamic partnerships. As we anticipate the 2025 event in New Orleans, we’re eager to highlight initiatives that bridge businesses within the construction industry. 

Our Trade Partner Outreach programs empower small businesses, offering them avenues to innovate and excel. A prime example is our Emerging Trade Partners program, which recently helped owner Lisa Williams of Cap8 Doors & Hardware expand her enterprise. 

These programs are tailored to connect a broad spectrum of small businesses with essential support and resources. Our Trade Partner Outreach programs include: 

  • Technical Assistance Program: Provides vital resources for business management and growth. 
  • Bonding Assistance Program: Helps businesses secure necessary bonding for project bids. 
  • Emerging Trade Partners Program: Connects businesses with new opportunities in the aviation sector. 

These initiatives stand as a testament to our mission of crafting opportunities and building successful futures within the aviation landscape and beyond.
