The Bidder Seminar is open to carriers that currently have slots at the three airports, other carriers that are interested in bidding, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and other government agencies. Each organization should limit its participation to no more than five individuals.

The block of hotel rooms will be held only until November 28 (or until the rooms are all reserved) and participants are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
