Evaluation of the Study Group (1996)

 The 1996 meeting was an unprecedented success. Ueli Birrer, the local arrangements coordinator, and Swissair (SR), the host airline, was a real asset to the study group in planning the meeting. In addition to handling local arrangements, SR provided twelve (12) free tickets on behalf of registrants. United Airlines also provided space available tickets, at no cost, to some of the presenters who connected to SR gateways.  Proceedings of 1995 presentations and contributed papers have been published and were distributed those who signed up for copies at the 1996 meeting. A limited number of extra copies are available for approximately $30 USD each by contacting the AGIFORS Publications Officer. Proceedings of past meeting presentations are not available.
