BACI has evolved into the top balloon event in the world due to it’s high standard of teaching, the balloon sculpture competitions, which attract teams from all over Europe, the networking and social aspects, and of course, the fabulous venue.

Florence is a magnificent city, historic and welcoming, and it is at it’s very best in the spring; Balloon Express Italy and Pioneer Europe Ltd are looking forward to seeing you there.

In 2008, the 17th BACI is being held at the Palaffari Convention Centre with the sculpture competitions being held at the Fortezza da Basso, just a 5 minute stroll away. CBA testing, top instructors, an exhilarating party night and great company are all part of the mix that makes BACI so popular, so why not come along and see for yourself? You could even take a few days holiday as well.

Classes will be held in Italian and English, taught by well-known international instructors such as:

Luc Bertrand CBA

Sue Marston-Weston CBA.
