CIH corporate event sponsorship pack

CIH corporate event sponsorship pack

The CIH Annual Conference and Exhibition takes place in Manchester on 12-14 June 2012. The three-day conference is the most important event of our year, bringing together over 5,000 housing professionals with 300 exhibitors from across the sector. The event is the leading opportunity for the whole housing sector - not-for-profit, local authority, housing associations, charities, private sector, commercial partners and suppliers to come together under one roof to learn, improve and influence. 2012 is an incredibly significant year for us. As government funding reduces, it will be up to the housing profession to find solutions to the challenges it faces. This year, our conference will focus on challenging traditional thinking and learning to do things differently. This will be the first time we have hosted the conference in Manchester, and the new location, new venue and new format are designed to allow more interaction and debate between delegates. The crisp, modern venue, more accessible location and fantastic new programme promise to make this year s conference and exhibition bigger and better than ever before. Throughout the conference, CIH will host several dedicated corporate events aimed at building working relationships with our partners in housing. Sponsorship of these events provides an excellent opportunity to promote your organisation s products and services to a wide range of professionals from across the housing sector. Sponsorship packages can also be tailored to meet your organisations aims and objectives. If you would like to discuss any of our packages please contact, Exhibition & Sponsorship Coordinator at Amanda.thurlow@cih.org
