On behalf of the host committee (Ontario APPA) for the Eastern Region of the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers (ERAPPA), we extend to you an invitation to participate as a Business Partner at our ERAPPA 2007 Annual Conference in Canada. This event continues to be highly successful through the active support of companies like yours. We hope you will join us in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, at the Crowne Plaza (exhibits and guest rooms) and the Ottawa Marriott (education program and guest rooms) hotels for this educational, networking and marketing opportunity in addition to having a capital time!

The conference theme, Capital Ideas for Sustainable Resource Management, is topical for all of us in today’s resource-strained operations environment.

The absolute best marketing opportunity targeting academic institution facility professionals is at the ERAPPA Annual Conference. The ERAPPA region extends from Maryland to Newfoundland and includes over 800 campuses and more than one billion square feet of facilities. We expect record attendance, with representatives from almost all of our member institutions. We pride ourselves on assuring a high level of interface opportunities between our members and business partners. In addition to exhibiting your unique facility expertise, a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities are available, providing you additional business exposure. The enclosed descriptions of sponsorship options and benefits will assist you in deciding your best marketing strategy.

This year, we have approximately 80 booths available for exhibiting, as well as a number of marketing sponsorship opportunities. Past experience indicates that the booths sell quickly and late requests become wait-listed. Please register early.

We look forward to hearing from you soon. If we can be of assistance, please call or send an email. Thank you in advance for your interest and support!
