1 SPONSORSHIP AND EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS PRINCIPAL SPONSOR

2 It s my pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2018 Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress to be held at the Cordis Hotel, Auckland New Zealand (recently rebranded from Langham Auckland) from May Welcome! VMA Chair Steve Harper CFE and Congress Chair Helen Glengarry would like to extend to you a personal invitation to become involved in the success of the upcoming 2018 Asia Pacific Venue Industry Congress. In becoming a Sponsor or Exhibitor at this annual event it will heighten your profile within the industry and it will also assist the Venue Management Association in delivering a Congress of exceptional standard and recognition. As the single largest meeting of venue professionals in the Asia-Pacific region, our annual Congress is going from strength to strength. Over the past three years the Congress has continued to break attendance records and last year we delivered an extremely successful event in Sydney where we hosted just shy of 400 delegates. It s an exciting time for the VMA as our membership continues to grow alongside an event industry that is growing with new and bigger venues across the Asia-Pacific region. This year s congress returns to New Zealand for the first time in eight years and will deliver a thought-provoking and educational program, including motivational presentations, diverse technical sessions which will include high profile national and international speakers, along with a fantastic social and networking program. The success of our annual Congress is due in no small part to the ongoing participation of our Corporate Sponsors and Exhibitors. As a leading supplier to the Venue Industry, this is your annual opportunity to foster stronger and more beneficial relationships with VMA members. Moreover, with Auckland, New Zealand as the destination in 2018, it is a great opportunity to be a part of all that this modern and vibrant city has to offer and immerse yourself in the experience. Kind regards STEVE HARPER, CFE CHAIR, VENUE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
