Dear
You may have heard about the 15th International Technology, Meetings and
Incentives Conference to be held in Greece on November 6-11, 2005 sponsored by
the Connected International Meeting Professionals Association and the Asian
Leaders Association.
The conference kicks off with the Athena Awards, Asian Academy Hall of Fame
Awards, Certification Awards and CIMPA Honors on November 6 at the magnificent
Olympic Stadium in Athens. On November 7, we embark on a cruise of the fabulous
Greek islands for a unique, results-driven educational program at sea. We will
have conversations on various issues that keep us awake at night as well as plan
for business opportunities with each other.
That is the reason why I am sending this personal letter to you. I would like to
talk to you about how we can start a profitable partnership with each other as
well as other selected participants who will be on board this cruise. As you
know there are many challenges facing us in this industry today. I would like to
sound off some ideas and get some of yours to help us all survive and prosper.
The conference is designed such that conversations like this are the focus of
the program.
Among the expected outcomes of this conference is a global network of meeting
and incentive planners and association movers and shakers focused on helping
people better understand and help each other. In the process, we expect to see
closer bonds of friendship being formed. While we believe this will result in
more business, we also believe this will give more meaning to the work we do and
contribute significantly to peace and harmony in the world.
If you are not able to come, I would like to ask you to help by sponsoring
the conference. $2000 will enable a qualified participant from a developing
country to attend the meeting. A $5000 sponsorship will allow 3 of them to
attend. You will get a personal letter from each of these potential buyers and
you will be duly recognized at the conference as well as in the promotional
materials we are constantly sending out.
We are also looking for a Gold Sponsor of $10,000 and a title sponsor of
$50,000 which will be awarded a major package of recognition and promotional
opportunities for the next 5 years. Yes – your name will be in this conference
for the next 5 years when we expect to get demonstrable results from this
effort. But your most important reward will be knowing that you have contributed
to the initial development of a practice that gives meaning to meetings and
incentives and contributes to peace and harmony in the world.

I certainly hope you can help me in this mission. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to email or call me
Warm regards,
