Your Event Success Team
Gary Bradshaw
Meet The President
Gary Bradshaw, our founder, brings 35 years of event management expertise to AttendStar. Formerly an event promoter who transitioned into a pilot and flight instructor, Gary’s passion for aviation and his background in entertainment presented the perfect opportunity to leave his mark on air shows across the country.
Throughout his career, Gary has dedicated himself to promoting air shows by developing and investing in winning strategies and solutions, leading to record-breaking events. With a combined expertise in ticketing, marketing, and logistical support, Gary and his team have successfully contributed to over 240 air shows in the last 15 years. Additionally, they have provided consultation and guidance to civilian and military bases for more than 500+ air shows.
This winning mindset has positioned AttendStar at the forefront of pioneering changes, notably as the country’s first-ever online ticketing platform for air shows. This shift from traditional printed tickets to online ticketing and from general admission concessions to premium seating has not only funded but also supported local military welfare programs. The ability to adapt and consistently deliver positive results has been a core outcome of AttendStar’s involvement, aiding military bases in navigating challenges that seemed insurmountable.
Overall, AttendStar’s commitment to innovation has played a pivotal role in inspiring new strategies within the air show industry, positively impacting both the event experience and the support for military welfare programs.
