AIAA Topic: Conference Attendance U. S. Government attendance Restrictions are still in place for government travel Anecdotal discussions indicate that DoD will not participate in any conferences for the remainder of this FY (Sep 30) No word on what will happen in FY14 Overall attendance is down for all AIAA conferences Conference attendance is down ~20% for the conferences held so far Vended events have been canceled or are not being held by AIAA – MDA canceled by the Missile Defense Agency – FAA chose not to use AIAA as event organizer because of government restrictions on conference organization See Slide 3 Negative impact to AIAA finances Below budget by $ 1 million 2
