integral driver of that robust growth. Information and knowledge are

essential to capitalize on the economic opportunities being created in

this part of the world. This event constitutes a preliminary two-and-a-

expertise in these fields, and seek an update on what is new, current,

and relevant to today's air transportation environment, or those who

have taken the introductory Workshop.

Many will want to register for both the Workshop and the Conference.

Reduced registration fees are available to facilitate such participation.
