Vendor Information

 

Dear Vendor/Sponsor;

The Catholic Curriculum Corporation will be hosting its When Faith Meets Pedagogy 2011 Conference on October 27th, 28th, 29th  at the DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel.
This year’s theme is:  Room for All at the Table:  Gathered, Nourished and Sent Forth.     

We are particularly pleased with the ongoing relationship we have developed with our vendor and sponsor partners.  We understand the importance of vendors, not only in providing financial support for our conference, but also in providing a service to the educators attending the conference.  In order to increase traffic in the vendor area throughout the day, for the 2011 conference, delegates will be able to choose a visit to the vendor area as one of their registration selections. We have also scheduled a reception in the vendor area at 4:30 p.m.

Over the past fifteen years, the When Faith Meets Pedagogy Conference has steadily grown in size and stature to where it is considered to be the premier Catholic Conference in the province.  Our array of keynote and featured speakers this year include Thomas Groome, who will open our conference on Thursday evening, and Mary Jo Leddy, who will deliver a keynote address on Friday morning. 

We look forward to your participation in WFMP 2011 on Friday, October 28th from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.  Please see the next page for details about the CCC and vendor registration.

SPONSORSHIPS

We are pleased to acknowledge that we have already secured sponsors for a number of conference items.  Contributions such as these reduce our costs and allow us to keep our registration fee for delegates at a reasonable rate.

There are multiple opportunities to showcase your company through sponsorship of a variety of events such as:  providing delegate bags or name tags, sponsoring a comfort break, lunch, dinner or breakfast.  Please contact Michael Bator, Executive Director, directly. We also welcome promotional items that may be placed in our delegate bags.  If you are interested, please let us know and we will be glad to include your item in the delegate conference bag.  Please note, we cannot insert catalogues, bookmarks, or promotional flyers in the delegate bags.  These can be distributed at your tables. 

We have two very capable conference planning committee members assisting with vendors: Jonathan Wright and Teresa Toth.  Although most correspondence and registration will occur through Betty Goulden, Jonathan and Teresa will be available on-site to assist during set-up, conference period and take-down. 

We will be sending specific information about set-up times and shipping materials to the hotel in September.

Thank you for your past support and your continued interest.

Regards,
