JOIN US IN SEATTLE for the 2026 AGIFORS RM STudy GROUP!

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.

Whether it's your first AGIFORS Study Group meeting or your 10th, we're looking forward to seeing you in Seattle in September.

AGENDA

The list of papers that were originally accepted for the Doha conference is available at the link below. We are currently confirming the availability of the presenters to present their work at the rescheduled conference in Seattle

Accepted papers

The high-level conference schedule is shown below. A more detailed agenda will be posted closer to the event.

  • Monday, September 14th, 2026: Evening welcome reception (no conference program)
  • Tuesday, September 15th, 2026: Full day conference program and evening social event

A more detailed agenda with exact timings will be posted closer to the event.

Call for papers reopened

Pending the availability of the presenters of accepted abstracts, we anticipate that there may be a limited number of slots available for the technical program in Seattle. We also understand that there are likely some attendees who may have been interested in presenting work this year but were unable to travel to Doha. 

Therefore, we will reopen the Call for Papers for a limited time. You can submit your abstract for a 20-25 minute presentation using the link below:

Abstract submission

  • Abstracts due: July 15th, 2026
  • Draft presentations due: September 1st, 2026
  • Final presentations due: September 10th, 2026

As we anticipate that the number of slots will be highly limited, we may not be able to accept all submitted abstracts. In this case, priority will be given to abstracts submitted first, so be sure to send in your submission in good time.

As a reminder, presentations in the technical program are intended to be scientific in nature and may not include references to any product names or screenshots.

BRONZE SPONSORS


The AGIFORS RM Study Group welcomes any sponsors willing to contribute to our event. Sponsorship is especially welcome because it enables AGIFORS to keep registration fees as low as possible and this enables academics and airlines to continue attending the conferences and provide new insights and research to the broader airline community.

Different sponsorship levels provide opportunities to advertise your brand and, at some levels, make a marketing or product presentation during the conference program.
