The Full Rundown

Check in, drop your bags, and settle in. South Beach is officially your home for the next two nights.

Collect your badge, say hello, and step straight into the Node Talks buzz. Our team will be there to guide you.

The doors are open. Grab a drink, find a familiar face, and ease into the Node Talks vibe.

Fuel up, catch up, and ease into the day with a proper start.

The official start. A warm welcome, a look at what’s ahead, and then we’re off.

David Avrin opens Node Talks with a sharp, practical perspective on how high-net-worth customer expectations are evolving, and what that means for loyalty, engagement, and long-term growth in business aviation.

Step out, top up, and reset. Fresh coffee and a quick chance to connect before we dive back in.

Sergey entered business aviation at 20 and helped change how the industry works, from unlocking empty legs to rethinking access and distribution. Today, as a board member at BOND, he’s still working at the intersection of aviation, tech, and capital.

In conversation with Per Marthinsson, this is a rare look beyond the headlines.

Operators and brokers. Same flights, different realities. What builds trust and what quietly kills a deal? How does dynamic pricing shift the balance? What happens when retail grows, and are we talking past each other across regions and generations?

Panelists:

• Daniel Harris, Managing Partner, Ironbird Partners
• Algernon Trotter, Founder, LUMINAIR
• Luis Barros, Founder & CEO, Leviate Air Group
• Andy Christie, Global Private Jets Director, Air Charter Service
• Jacquie Dalton, President, Sparrow Executive Jets

Lunch is on CAMP Systems. Take a proper pause, grab a plate, and keep the conversations moving before the afternoon sessions begin.

Mikael Ericsson, Chief Product Officer at Avinode Group, takes the stage to talk innovation, what’s changing, what’s not, and where we think this industry should be heading next.

This session explores how companies build distinctive brands, communicate value with precision, and stay memorable without adding to the noise. We’ll look at how strong players position themselves, use marketing as a genuine growth lever, and integrate it into the commercial organization in ways that deepen rather than dilute relationships.

Panelists:

• Erin Donnelly, Chief Operating Officer, Charter Flight Support
• Kolin Jones, Founder & CEO, Amalfi Jets
• Matthew Lesmeister, Chief Operating Officer, flyExclusive
• Tru Pham, Chief Brand Officer, FlyHouse

One more refill before the final stretch. Stretch your legs, grab a cup, and keep the momentum going.

A look at where the charter market stands today, powered by Avinode data and real-world insight.

The future of business aviation won’t be built on more technology. It will be built on better technology.

Join senior technology leaders for a candid discussion on the systems, infrastructure, and decisions shaping the future of air charter, from interoperability and efficiency to the growing impact of AI.

Our Noder MCs wrap up the highlights, the insights, and maybe a few moments you missed.

Kick off your shoes, freshen the glass, and let the conversations roll into the night.

Sunset, warm air, and a table full of familiar faces. Dinner is where the day’s conversations stretch out and the South Beach vibe takes over.

Check out, grab your bags, and head off with fresh connections and a few new ideas in your pocket.
