A slice of the action


Sponsorship opportunities:

Lakes for Living, Lakes for Life18 - 21 May 2009, Windermere, Cumbria, UK

The very first International Lakes Conference will be held in the Lake District next

spring. Its aims are to bring together all those who work with lakes worldwide, and

to contribute to the development of the network of practitioners across Europe and

beyond. More importantly, it will also raise the profile of the Lake District and the

North West Region among key world players in lakeland management.

Over 150 senior decision makers and influencers are expected to attend from

environmental, economic and community sectors associated with lakeland areas

across the globe.

Through workshops, lakeside visits and key-note speeches, the conference will

deliver and collate the very best of experience and current practice. In addition,

delegates will benefit from the chance to build networks with overseas colleagues

and learn about their successes and experiences.

The Environment Agency and the Lake District National Park are joint hosts of this

event. They have identified you as an important and influential player in assisting in

the challenging goal of maintaining and enhancing the prosperity of the region,

whilst at the same time restoring and improving the lakes and their catchments.

In view of this, we invite you to become a sponsor of the event, where we can offer

you an excellent platform to promote your organisation within this renowned

location and delightful environment.

We will forge strong working relationships with all our sponsors to identify the

potential synergies between our organisations and ensure our objectives are both

aligned and promoted effectively at this unique international conference.

There are a number of sponsorship packages available which are outlined in this

document. These can be tailored to your individual requirements which we would be

pleased to discuss further.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope that we can work together to mark

this important and prestigious event in a significant way.
