Aventure Aviation president Talha Faruqi was highlighted among 2,500 alumni from the 10,000 Small Businesses program who met in Washington, D.C. on July 18–20, for the 10,000 Small Businesses Summit. This was the largest-ever gathering of small business owners in the U.S.

Small business owners gained insights from business leaders, visionaries, policymakers, and each other on best practices for business growth, hiring, accessing capital and more as they continue to power the U.S. economy.

Speakers included Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway, and Michael Bloomberg, Founder, Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies

As a featured attendee, posters and banners with Talha's photo and words of inspiration were visible throughout the summit location, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. He was quoted in a conference ad, where he said, "All the big companies that you see today, were all small businesses once."

Talha was chosen to attend a reception with U.S. state leaders, where he led a talk with Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock.

Aventure to San Diego for ACPC

Aventure Aviation will attend the 2022 Air Carriers Purchasing Conference (ACPC), taking place August 27–30 in San Diego, California, at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina.

Founded in 1956, ACPC brings together buyers and sellers of aviation related goods and services, offering members a fair and level networking environment.

Aventure has been attending ACPC since the company's founding over 20 years ago. Attending this year will be Andrew Crombie, sales director, Ebrahim Zakaria, director of commercial business development, and Kevin Lang, director of strategic accounts.

"We are very excited to attend ACPC in San Diego this year," said Ebrahim. "Last year's conference was in our hometown of Atlanta, and we were able to make great connections."

"With several teardowns this year, we have even more to discuss with attendees to see how we can work together," added Kevin.

Aventure Learns from Chick-fil-A

A group of Aventure Aviation's Atlanta-based team toured the Chick-fil-A corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia on June 13. They learned about the company's history, culture, and values, as instilled by founder S. Truett Cathy.

Mr. Cathy founded the fast food restaurant chain in 1946. His outlook on business and customer service has become a standard for businesses across many industries.

Prior to the tour, Chick-fil-A's tour guide recognized all active-duty military and veterans, including Aventure's operations manager, Michael Black.

"Chick-fil-A is an amazing company with excellent customer service and family values," said Chelsea Griffin, Aventure's office manager. "My colleagues and I learned how Chick-fil-A's successful business practices can be transferred throughout various industries, like our own."
