Join us Sept. 21 for Untethered with Brian Weiler.
Every day, thousands of travelers pass through Springfield-Branson National Airport without seeing the years of planning, leadership, and collaboration that make every flight possible, or the role that Brian Weiler has played as an economic development leader in the region.
On Sept. 21, Untethered will give you the opportunity to hear from Brian, one of the people who has helped shape Springfield’s growth.
He recently retired after leading the airport through 15 years of growth, expansion, and modernization. During his tenure, passenger traffic and nonstop destinations more than doubled, strengthening southwest Missouri’s connection to the rest of the country.
His career spans four decades in transportation, from serving as an air traffic controller in the U.S. Marine Corps to managing airports in multiple states and directing Missouri’s aviation and multimodal transportation programs.
Join us as we explore the moments that defined Brian’s career, the leadership lessons learned along the way, and what it takes to guide major public infrastructure projects that impact entire communities.
Untethered is an opportunity to hear the stories, challenges, and perspectives that rarely make the headlines.
Whether you’re interested in leadership, aviation, public service, economic development, or simply enjoy hearing from remarkable people, you’ll leave inspired.
Registration is free, and we’d love to see you there.
