SAF Magazine, in collaboration with the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative, has announced the dates for the 2025 North American SAF Conference & Expo. Taking place Sept. 22-24, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, the North American SAF Conference & Expo is designed specifically for companies and organizations advancing technologies that support the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). 

SAF Magazine and CAAFI will collaborate for this conference to showcase the latest strategies for aviation fuel decarbonization, solutions for key industry challenges, and highlight the current opportunities for airlines, corporations and fuel producers. This is in alignment with CAAFI’s efforts to implement and share the best practices, enhance the SAF fuel qualification approach, and reinforce the value proposition of SAF.

“We are thrilled to announce the 2025 North American SAF Conference & Expo, building on the overwhelming success and industry interest we’ve seen in past years,” said John Nelson, chief operating officer at BBI International. “This conference continues to grow as a premier platform for advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel development, bringing together airlines, fuel producers, policymakers, and technology innovators. The collaboration with CAAFI ensures we’re addressing the most critical topics and opportunities in SAF. As the industry evolves rapidly, the level of participation and enthusiasm for this event underscores the collective commitment to decarbonizing aviation and building a more sustainable future.”

The North American SAF Conference & Expo is now accepting abstracts through May 9 on the following categories:
