With the U.S. Presidential election looming, political veterans—and husband and wife—James Carville and Mary Matalin will be prominent figures during the second day of the NBAA Convention in Orlando, Florida. On the morning of November 2, they will make their fourth appearance at the annual show, this time providing an “enlightening and entertaining look” at the 2016 election-year landscape during the second-day opening session. That evening Carville and Matalin will do a meet-and-greet at the <a href="http://ainonline.prod.acquia-sites.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2016-10-24/nbaa/can-soiree-adds-e-bidding-auction-fundraiser">NBAA/Corporate Angel Network Soiree</a>, where attendees will have the chance to have more personal conversations with them during the reception that precedes the dinner and live auction.

 


Topics addressed by Carville and Matalin during the morning session will range from the race for the White House to today’s most important political issues, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at Washington politics. Attendees will have a chance to go more in depth with the duo at the NBAA/CAN event later that day at the Hilton Orlando hotel. Carville and Matalin have long been key players in American politics, each with more than 30 years of experience, up to and including service at the Presidential level.

 


“This has been an extraordinary year in American politics,” noted NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “We look forward to having James Carville and Mary Matalin at our convention and the CAN Soiree, and hearing their insights and predictions just a week ahead of Election Day.”
