SponsorshipGold Level US$5,000
Silver Level US$3,500 Collins Aerospace Bronze Level US$2,000 AGIFORS sets its registration fees 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. Sponsorships are used to lower the registration rates for airlines and academics. Sponsorships are available at three levels: Gold: $5,000; Silver: $3,500; Bronze: $2,000. The different levels give you differing capabilities to advertise your products in the presentation program and meeting events. There are no more Gold sponsorships available, but at the Silver level you get to give a 15 minute sales presentation during the main technical program in the main part of the day. All sponsors get an exhibit table in the exhibit/coffee break area. For sponsorship as well as all conference logistical and organizational issues, please contact:

These can only be referenced in sponsor presentations, which are under special rules for length and when they can be presented. After the technical agenda for the conference, non-sponsor vendors will also be able to present a brief sales presentation. Social ProgramAs we always do, we will have a nice social program:
