In one year’s time, Canada’s leading sponsorship conference will open in Whistler, BC, in partnership with the Canadian Paralympic Committee, and beside the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games that are being hosted in Vancouver/Whistler.

The 2010 Canadian Sponsorship Forum will be held March 19-21 in Whistler and along with a superlative agenda of speakers and presenters, will offer delegates the opportunity to experience the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games from up close, including priority seating for the gold medal sledge hockey final and the spectacular closing ceremonies.

Forum Chair Mark Harrison is excited about partnering with the Canadian Paralympic Committee, saying “Whistler will be a great setting and our delegates will be fully immersed in the Paralympic Games, and able to see first-hand how an event like that is staged, marketed, and supported.”

Chief Operating Officer of the Canadian Paralympic Committee Brian MacPherson added, “The Canadian Paralympic Committee is proud to be a partner with the 2010 Canadian Sponsorship Forum and looks forward to showcasing paralympic sport by exposing Canada’s sponsorship and marketing leaders to the 2010 Paralympic Games.”

The Canadian Sponsorship Forum is unique in the sponsorship/marketing industry as it runs parallel to some of the country’s largest and most prestigious sponsorship events, and the 2010 Forum brings the conference back to British Columbia for the first time since the inaugural Forum in 2005 that took delegates to the Vancouver Grey Cup and its associated festivities.
