SPONSORS & EXIBITORS:

We are excited to invite you to the 2010 AFS Northwest Regional Conference being held in Whistler, BC, Canada (just outside Vancouver, BC).  Following the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games in Vancouver this February and March, our conference will be held in Whistler, the Olympic venue for alpine sports, on May 13 - 15, 2010, at the Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa.

 At this time we are putting the final touches on an excellent program with speakers coming from around the world to fit in with our theme “Cast Your Future, Solidify Your Profits."  We have always had great success attracting a large number of foundry men and women to our AFS Northwest Regional Conference, and this year will be no exception!

As you know, the strength of a conference is to a great degree dependent on the level of corporate support for the event.  As in previous years, we have a few different options for you to support this great event. Not only does this offer you excellent exposure to current and potential customers, but it also helps to support the local AFS chapters dedicated to the foundry industry.

 Corporate Advertising and Sponsorship Options: We have the following options available for you, but please note that some of the spots are limited in number, so please register quickly.  Advertising and sponsorship rates are listed on the accompanying registration form.

 1) Advertising in our conference program: The program will be a 3 ½” x 8 ½” booklet that is handed out to each delegate, outlining the speakers and conference highlights.

 2) Table top display: There will be up to 16 table top displays for rent in the foyer that will allow you to place signage, brochures and business cards. The coffee breaks and registration will also be held in the foyer. Limited seating area behind each table will be available for manning the tables; however, large booth displays cannot be accommodated.

3) Sponsor the banquet, lunch or coffee break, or donate to the chapter: In addition to our Saturday Night Banquet, there will be two lunches and four coffee breaks throughout the conference. Banquet, lunch and coffee break sponsors will be promoted with signage during each meal and coffee break. All sponsorships and donations will be acknowledged in the conference program.

 4) Donate an item for the silent auction: If you would like to contribute an item to our silent auction please contact Eric Hasselmann from Century Pacific Foundry at (604) 596-7451.

I look forward to talking to you soon, and I hope to see you in Whistler in May, 2010!

Sincerely,

David Lalonde, Corporate Sponsorship
