Host City - Dallas/Fort WorthDallas is known as Big D. As the ninth-largest city in the US, Dallas is all about BIG fun, BIG events, and BIG attractions. Home to exclusive shopping, world-renowned museums, five-star dining, lush green spaces, and vibrant nightlife, in Dallas, a visitor can do it all. And, in no small way.
Fort Worth sights are an interesting combination of sophistication and earthiness. Locals often brag that Fort Worth is, “Where the West begins,” and rightfully so. This city was founded on wealth from cattle and hardworking cowboys. Even now, the city’s own herd of handsome longhorn cows strut through the Fort Worth Stockyards twice a day!

The policy of AGIFORS for all study group meetings is to have the registration fee for Airline and Academics delegates 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 both to vendors and airlines. This would only be possible because of our sponsors. Thank you! Sponsorships are available at three levels: Gold (USD 5000), Silver (USD 3500), and Bronze (USD 2000). With each package your company will be recognized an official sponsor, and your logo will be included in all communications regarding the conference. Please contact us at ssp@agifors.org for benefits for each level such as a vendor booth, logo/banner placement in various places in the conference venue, vendor presentation (showcasing your company, products and services), etc. You can sign up for sponsorship online here.
