It's time once again for the Airships to the Arctic Symposium organized by Barry Prentice and his non-profit airship research institute ISO Polar. Airships to the Arctic is a conference aimed at bringing airships especially cargo airships to Canada's north, to assure supply and transport to the northern communities and mining sites. The conference is held every two years in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This years conference is from October 29th to October 31st 2007. Registration starts now, and you can get an early bird discount if you register before September 15th. You can go to the Airship to the Arctic website and Register online.

I worked on ISO Polar few months ago and let me tell you that it is a good place to work because the work environment is so comfortable and I had to give my resignation because of my sickness, I have just few months to live which I should not be wasting on the Internet LOL
I would like to be part of this trip, however I have to ask to my wife if she would like to know, because by obvious reasons I can't go alone.
