On June 6, 2015, the Chicago NATCA Bridge-the-Gap (BTG) air traffic controllers will host an aviation symposium at Lewis University (LOT). This will be an FAA WINGS event, so prior registered participants receive WINGS credit for attendance.
For those who have had questions on why Chicago controllers do the things we do, and who wonder what may be happening on the other side of the frequency, this is your event. There will be several sessions discussing ORD and MDW operations, as well as several sessions discussing GA operations. This includes VFR operations.
What better way to put a name with a face, and get fed in the process? Oh, did I forget to mention? We will be catering food to the event for those that attend. What more could you want? You get to fly to a WINGS event, you get to meet some controllers, you get to leave (hopefully) not hungry, and you may learn something new.
To get an accurate count of who will attend, we ask that you register online. Here's the website.

I hope to finally meet a few of you there.
