INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WEEK 2012 SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE 2
In 2009, the Barbados International Business Association (BIBA) recognised that in order to foster an increased appreciation among Barbadians for the international business sector, and its contribution to the Barbados economy, a greater thrust would have to be made to educate and inform the public of the necessity of this valuable sector. Thus, International Business Week was born, and it has been reported as a resounding success in each of the last three years that it has been staged.
The theme for International Business Week 2012 is “Innovation: Our Path to New Horizons”. This celebration of Barbados international business, which takes place annually in the last full week of October, comprises a series of exciting events achieved through
strong collaboration between BIBA and a number of strategic partners, such as yourselves. These events attract high turnouts and strong media support each year.
Within this package you will find a menu of sponsorship options designed to offer you the opportunity to be associated with a slate of high calibre, corporate events, which continue to grow in popularity year after year. These events demonstrate thought leadership, corporate social responsibility, and tangible means by which every day Barbadians can embrace and appreciate the important role that international business plays in every facet of this island’s development.
We invite you to partner with us this year as we stage yet another successful week of activities, designed to take us all forward to new horizons.
