2022 Online event

Because of the ongoing uncertainty in relation to the travel restrictions imposed upon us due to Covid-19 pandemic, the Agifors Council has decided to also in 2022 have all the study group meetings as a virtual event. 


This year the Crew Management Study group meeting will start on the 14th of June 2021. Just like in 2021, we will again have the conference in 6  sessions, this time spread out over three weeks.
The sessions will be:

  • Tuesday June 14 2022
  • Wednesday June 15 2022
  • Tuesday June 21 2022
  • Wednesday June 22 2022
  • Tuesday June 28 2022
  • Wednesday June 29 2022

All sessions will start at 14:00 UTC and run through to 17:00 UTC. These times would hopefully make it possible to attend the session within a reasonable time for many locations around the globe.

Registration

As this conference is again an online event, the registration fees could be kept very low.

Registration fees are:

  • Agifors members working for an airline: USD 20.
  • Agifors members not working for an airline: USD 50.
  • Non-Agifors members: USD 75.
Membership to the Agifors is for free and gives more benefits than just a reduced registration fee. Register here for the free membership.

Sponsors

The policy of Agifors for all their meetings are to have the registration fee for Airline staff and Academics as low as possible. The philosophy behind this is that academics are likely to enter new lines of thought into our field, and having a strong presence by airlines brings great value to both the vendors and the airlines.

It would therefore be great if your organization could this year be one of our sponsors, to make it possible to maintain doing this.

As this is an online event, the sponsorship options are limited also. There will be no booths or banners to display. This is reflected in the sponsorship fee as well. 

Gold (USD 1000)

Call For Presentations

A meeting like this is nothing without content. And the content should come from you. For that reason I would hereby request if you would consider submitting a technical presentation for the conference also. So, come and share with us your ideas, thoughts, practical innovations, current trends, case studies, philosophies, and latest advances on the topics which are relevant to you. 

As we are still very much in the Covid-19 pandemic, we would like to hear your story. How did your organization cope with the situation, what you have learned from this, and how do you plan to move forward from here.It would benefit our community a lot if we get to hear how you were able to modify your systems, procedures, and optimizers to deal with the new normality.

Please note that due to the very special nature of this years event and the highly reduced registration fee for vendors, there will be no vendor presentations this year. There will only be non-technical presentations by our sponsors this year.
