Your Invitation

We invite you to join us at the 2006 Annual Conference and Exhibition of the International Inflight Food Service Association (IFSA) in San Diego, California. Here we will gather to discover what’s new in the industry and share knowledge and ideas as we outline strategies for our success.

Sunny San Diego boasts an idyllic climate and is known for fun, relaxation and beauty. California’s second largest city is bordered by 70 miles of inviting beaches and tempts visitors with legendary hot spots such as the historic Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy. San Diego is a wonderful city to unite as we acknowledge the history and accomplishments of our great organization and move into a future of promise and integrity.

We are pleased to announce that Dave Barger of JetBlue Airways will be our keynote speaker at this year’s Conference and Exhibition. Dave is the President and Chief Operating Officer of JetBlue Airways and has served in this capacity since August 1998. We are most excited to have Mr. Barger participating in the Conference and look forward to hearing from him.

Additionally, we have many exciting educational sessions planned for the Conference, sure to provide valuable information necessary for today’s onboard industry activities. You’ll have the opportunity to attend panel and round table sessions featuring leading industry executives who will discuss the state of the industry, current trends and what we can look forward to in the future. All sessions will include extended question-and-answer periods for attendees to obtain information specific to their situation or company.

Our Host hotel this year is the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. A true San Diego gem, the hotel provides Conference attendees with inviting accommodations and a staff certain to exceed your expectations. The Exhibition will take place in the San Diego Convention Center, conveniently located just next door to the Marriott.

As you can see, we have been busy and are excited about this year’s conference. Please join us as we begin “Sailing to New Horizons – Executing Bold Strategies” at IFSA’s 2006 Annual Conference and Exhibition. We look forward to seeing you there.
