When we built our new 300 seat NKMIP Conference Centre we needed to
start attracting some major events to our facility and generating income.Geoff Greenwell of the 2G Group worked with us on bringing the 2010
National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference to NKMIP and the
event was a huge success. Geoff and his team really know how to connect
Native and non-Native business people and their organizational and
marketing skills are second to none. Were going to continue to work with
Geoff and the 2G Group to develop more events at NKMIP in the future.
Chief Clarence Louie, Osoyoos Indian Band
These are terrific conferences, very well organized, and lots ofopportunity to build relationships and network, and of course learn
which is always the most important thing. Thanks so much for the
opportunity

Background on the National Aboriginal Business Opportunities
Conference (NABOC) Series
The 2G Group specializes in creating equitable business relationships between
the Private Sector and Aboriginal communities.
The 2G Group created and hosted the First Nations Business Opportunities Conference Series
across Canada from 2003 and the series was renamed as the National Aboriginal Business
Opportunities Conference (NABOC) Series in 2009.
Due to the success of the NABOC events the 2G Group saw the need to expand the conference
series to include both Southern and Northern BC NABOC conferences, as well as parallel Youth
Leadership Conferences, a Tourism Conference and a specific Aboriginal Women in Business
Conference. As the demand for these networking events is very high and to ensure access to as
many First Nations as possible, venues were chosen in both the north and south of BC. Prince
Rupert and Osoyoos, BC were chosen as the venues for 2011.
Co-hosts for the 2011 NABOC Prince Rupert conference from April 12th 14th were Chiefs
Harold Leighton and Garry Reece from the emerging economic powerhouses, Lax Kwa'alaams
and Metlakatla First Nations. Both NABOC and Youth Leadership Conferences returned to the
Osoyoos Indian Band's Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa from September 14th - 16th of 2011with Chief Clarence Louie as the host once again.

delegates who attend. All events will be planned as 3 day conferences with plenary sessions,
workshops and banquet dinners on Day's 1 and 2; and charity golf tournaments, tours and one-
on-one meetings on Day 3.
Delegate fees for the 2012 NABOC events are set at $599.00 with an additional $85.00 for the
banquet dinners and $100.00 to participate in the charity golf tournaments. The Youth
Leadership events have been discounted to $299.00 to help ensure as many communities as
possible can participate.
2012 venues have been carefully chosen for their quality and ability to offer appropriate spaces
for plenary sessions and meetings. Speakers and workshop presenters will be of the highest
quality and will all be well known experts in their respective fields/disciplines. The banquet
dinner entertainment will be focused on providing a relaxing and humorous time for all.
The charity golf tournaments will donate their proceeds to causes chosen by the host Chiefs.
To compliment the conference series the 2G Group is developing an elaborate and
comprehensive website portal at that will seek to continuallyconnect Aboriginal organizations with private sector companies in a much more effective and
interactive way. Sponsors, Exhibitors and Workshop presenters of the conference series will
have the opportunity to be featured on the website in addition to participating in the actual
conferences. The website will be up and running by November of 2011 and will feature job
listings, RFP's, key community contacts, a business listing directory and perhaps most
importantly an interactive area where participants will be able to connect with each other to
find and discuss business opportunities.

Value Statement for Sponsors, Exhibitors and Workshop Presenters
Sponsorship Fee Structure (no HST on Sponsorship)
(NABOC Events Sponsors automatically get credited as Youth Conference Sponsors as well.)
The NABOC Series attracts private sector delegates from across Canada, the USA, Asia and
Europe as well as Key Decision Makers from Aboriginal communities in both Canada and the
USA. We expect to register over 290 delegates at each event with an approximate breakdown
of 100 Aboriginal communities and 120 private sector companies represented per event.
Quantity does not always equate to quality as everyone knows, so our focus continues to
be attracting business leaders who have the authority and jurisdiction to negotiate and make
decisions on behalf of the organizations they represent.
Gathering over 290 bright minds together always presents targeted opportunities for those
companies who wish to sponsor, exhibit and/or present workshops. As always with our events
they sell out quickly and we work on a first-come-first-served basis.
Major Sponsors $3,500
-Benefits Only 3 major sponsors per event, includes 3 delegate
registrations, free exhibit space, prominent logo
placement in all materials and the opportunity to
address the audience.
