The 2001 USUA Convention 7 Air Sports Expo was held at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana February 8-10, 2001. This three day event included work sessions aimed at issues that affect ultralighting and air sports in America. USUA representatives, industry veterans and community leaders refocused the priorities of the organization for the coming year.

Air Sports Expo, USUA's joint effort with the National Aeronautic Association and fellow air sport associations, was again held concurrently with the USUA Convention. The exposition hall displayed over 40 aircraft including ultralights, hang gliders, sailplanes and balloons which allowed the non-aviation public to learn more about recreational opportunities in air sports. Twelve forums were given on a variety of topics of interest to members.
