Dear APRIA Members,
We are looking forward to a great meeting in Singapore, July 25 - 29, 2010, when APRIA meets with sister organizations as part of the World Risk & Insurance Economics Conference (WRIEC) (www.wriec.org).
This unique event offers unparalleled opportunities to network with and learn of the latest, world-class research from academics and those from the regulatory and business communities. Additionally, the World Congress seeks to build and strengthen linkages between the world`s leading risk-related academics and the business and regulatory communities. We will also have a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge, discuss insurance education in universities, and reestablish friendships and productive collaborations.
To ensure maximum benefit for all attendees World Congress organizers are inviting corporate and other sponsors. The sponsorships will provide limited travel support for those academics from less-developed economies who otherwise could not attend to present research results. The sponsorships also underwrite the costs of the main events. Several universities have already made sponsorship contributions.
Becoming a World Congress sponsor supports research and, therefore, helps ensure the prospects of the risk and insurance sector. The sponsorship provides strong visibility to your organization with a group whose long-term effects on the local and global financial services sector are potentially profound. Indeed, your sponsorship not only helps generate future leaders in the risk and insurance community but also promotes robust research that leads to efficient and effective management of risk as well as better informed public policy and regulation.
If your university can make a sponsorship contribution, or if you can help to enlist corporate sponsor(s), it would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the sponsor categories:
· Platinum: EURO 25,000 and up
· Gold: EURO 10,000 - EURO 24,999
· Silver: EURO 5,000 - EURO 9,999
If you can`t provide sponsorship at one of the levels shown, any contribution will be gratefully received.
Sponsors will receive appropriate recognition at the meeting and in other ways. Please refer to http://www.wriec.org to download the Corporate Sponsorship Brochure and Corporate Sponsorship Invitation for sponsorship benefits and other details. You may wish to note that this same form can be used by academic institutions.
Your support will make this year`s meeting especially valuable! Thank you very much for any contribution you can make.
Yours Sincerely
Asia-Pacific Risk & Insurance Association
