2026 Revenue Management Study Group (14 September 2026)

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

We are very excited to announce that the 2026 AGIFORS Revenue Management Study Group meeting will be held on September 14th-16th, 2026 in Seattle, Washington hosted by Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines.

As you no doubt have seen, we were required to postpone the originally scheduled AGIFORS RM Study Group in Doha due to the tensions in the Middle East. However, we are thrilled to announce that we will be able to hold an AGIFORS event this year in the fall. We are thankful to Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and our other sponsors for being willing to host us on such short notice!

The conference will take place in a sustainable hotel in the heart of downtown Seattle. September is a beautiful time of year in Seattle, and we can look forward to a great agenda of technical presentations and networking events showcasing the city.

Conference Overview

AGIFORS represents a unique opportunity to share your work with the RM community and receive feedback from a diverse audience of peers and experts in the field. Any presentation on the subject of revenue management is welcome. Presentations in past years have focused on demand forecasting, network optimization, dynamic pricing, offer management, ancillary optimization, and more. Applications of artificial intelligence to RM are particularly welcome at this year's conference.

Representatives from airlines, air transport associations, universities, industrial research laboratories and consultants will discuss new ideas and present technical papers. Come and share with us your ideas, thoughts, current trends, philosophies and latest technological advances on any of the above or related topics.
