Join us this September in the wonderful
and exciting city of Juan-Les-Pins, France!
AGIFORS' 50th
Annual Symposium will be hosted by Amadeus and Air France/KLM in the wonderful
and exciting city
of Juan-Les-Pins, nearby to the cities of Nice and Cannes. This
year's
conference has been scheduled for the 20th through the 24th
of September 2010 at the centrally located Garden Beach Hotel in
Juan-Les-Pins,
France.
The
theme of this
year’s Annual Symposium is “Coming Full Circle!” This
theme was selected for several reasons. The first and very obvious
reason is that we are returning to the place of our birth. A second
reason is that such monumentus anniversaries offer us an opportunity to
reflect on the achievements and contributions of our discipline. A
third reason is that in these trying times, when the airline industry
is in dire need of innovation, we are eager to grasp even a small part
of the spirit of our founding fathers. The Symposium will feature
presentations by the very best researchers and practitioners, including
the finalists in the Anna Valicek Student Paper Competition, as well as
a “not to be missed” panel discussion with the AGIFORS
Fellows, those members of the organization who have had major impact on
the profession.
Conference
Overview
The
Symposium offers the latest on innovation in airline operations
research. Among the various topics to be discussed are airline
operations, airline strategy, cargo logistics, crew scheduling,
e-commerce, information technology, OR management, revenue management,
robust planning, and scheduling planning. Representatives from
airlines, air transport associations, universities, industrial research
labs, and consultants will discuss new ideas and present technical
papers. There will also be a vendor program in which the latest
products will be displayed. Come and share with us your ideas,
thoughts, current trends, philosophies, and latest technological
advances on any of the above or related topics.
