FROM THE FOUNDER

A space for the pioneers.

In 2022, I literally dreamed of a gathering for those taking the road less traveled. That dream became Airway Palooza.

Whether you’re finding your way or leading the way, you belong here.

“The ‘L’ Factor is the love, kindness and joy in the room. It is the secret sauce of Palooza.”

Come Palooza with us. Only once every 18 months.
My family and I have a seat waiting for you.
