The FIS Technical Committee meetings and the so-called Calendar Conference concluded in Dubrovnik (CRO) on Sunday. More than 500 representatives of the extended global FIS family gathered at Hotel Croatia in Cavtat-Dubrovnik (CRO) last week for the bi-annual FIS Calendar Conference. Hosted by the Croatian Ski Association, the one week long event enjoyed beautiful sunny skies and truly warm summer weather whilst hundreds of hours many official and unofficial meetings took place. Needless to say, the various terraces, poolside and outside restaurants were popular locations for informal meetings! Felix Ferencak, President of the Croatian Ski Association, Miho Glavic, Board Member and President of the Organizing Committee for the FIS Alpine World Cup in Zagreb, and Director Vedran Pavlek led the Croatian Ski Association's organization and offered the participants outstanding hospitality with a welcome buffet on overlooking the bay, as well as a memorable farewell dinner at the 18th century home of the Glavic family. Thanks to the association's professional staff especially Ana, Nenad and Reno and the hotel's efficient support, the meetings and logistics ran without a hitch. Judging from the number of messages from participants - some of whom are still enjoying a break there - Cavtat-Dubrovnik was a highly appreciated location for the FIS Spring Meetings.

Aside from the socializing, there were great amounts of work undertaken and the various proposals from the FIS Technical Committees will now be forwarded for consideration and decision by the FIS Council in its next meeting that will take place in Vancouver (CAN) on the weekend of 12-14th June.The calendars for the 2009/2010 FIS World Cup season will also be sent to the FIS Council for approval.
