  17. Action Item: World Congress in Canada • Exchange rate is $1 USD - $1.043 CD • Facilities in major Canadian cities are commensurate to United States properties. • Air travel options and pricing commensurate with United States cities. • 85% of attendees are members. • Currently 43 members in Canada. • 25% of attendees are from local area. • 81%-92% of conference attendees indicate they are involved mostly in domestic business. • Possible change to travel rules requiring passports for travel to/from Canada.

  18. Pros Comparable flight availability and prices. Comparable hotel facilities. Cons Foreign travel requirements for most attendees, may require special employer approvals. 85% attendees are members, but we have only 43 members in Canada. Weather concerns for April. Does not serve current strategic objectives. Action Item: World Congress in Canada

  19. Conference Portfolio: Schedule and Locations • Move Congress to July? • Avoid weather considerations. • Increase flexibility in location selection. • April is filled with calendar challenges – Easter, Passover, spring break, ISM meeting. • July is not peak conference season, so more facilities would be available. May get better rates. • Avoids “April Miracle” scenario – moves Congress to 1st month in our fiscal year. • Attendees may add-on vacations. • Have done this before – 2002 in Long Beach. • Possible co-location of Leadership Summit. • Any change represents risk.

  20. Conference Portfolio: Schedule and Locations • Move ADC to March and vary locations? • We have a potential conflict in 2009 – Congress in Long Beach in April (contracted) and ADC in July (no contract yet). • Aerospace community not as concentrated in Southern California. • Moves smallest conference to the end of the fiscal year. • Possible change of conference brand away from aerospace and defense. • Aerospace and defense could become a community of practice – this conference would be a product in that portfolio.
