ACPC is known as the most productive aviation conference globally and offers aviation experts unparalleled networking opportunities with an extensive business and social agenda. The Conference and the Aviation Networking Forum is a dynamic one-day trade show that gives professionals time to meet and start new opportunities.

Essex will showcase the industry-leading Essex Crewmember PBE, a self-contained, portable, protective breathing device designed to safeguard aircraft crewmembers from the effects of smoke, carbon dioxide, harmful gases, and oxygen deficiency. The Essex PBE provides protection as crewmembers manage in-flight fire, smoke, or fume emergencies and assist in the evacuation of passengers.

The Essex PBE holds FAA TSO-C116, TSO-C99 approvals as well as CAA, EASA, CAAC and ANAC approvals.
