List Of Confirmed Panelists Is Getting Longer By The Week
Indoor Skydiving 2020 | First Global Summit by FAI (ISGS) is starting to take shape. The topics of the summit sessions have all been defined and background information on them is published regularly on the legacy site.
ISGS aspires to provide new perspectives – the “Tunnel Vision of the Broadest Kind” – through this first encounter between an international industry and a worldwide sporting community. The summit aims to bring indoor skydiving to the next level, with a number of outcomes that stand to positively affect the young air sport discipline’s future development.
The list of confirmed panelists is getting longer by the week, with tunnel manufacturers and others professionally involved in the indoor skydiving industry being in the majority. The representatives of sports governing bodies such as the World Air Sports Federation and its FAI Parachuting Commission, the International World Games Association and others make up a sizeable group too. Last but not least, select experts in fields such as energy efficiency, renewable energy, virtual reality, etc. will be on the panels under these topics. Others will conduct workshops or break-out sessions on the afternoon of February 3.
Online registration and payment is now possible through the ISGS site. Vouchers for four different packages can be purchased by individuals and companies. The standard rate is 550 € (approx $603) per participant, with double room occupancy for the three nights at a "three-star" hotel in Empuriabrava or Roses. Companies registering four participants at once are offered a rate of 500 € (approx. $550) per participant.
The current rates are considered “Early Bird.” They remain valid through midnight of November 30, 2019 (GMT +1). After that date and time, the rates will increase by 50 € ($55) per participant and per month.
