- Sponsorship, Workshop and Exhibitor Opportunities

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.

We believe the National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conferences Series gives the best

return on investment for sponsors and exhibitors of Aboriginal events.

We look forward to working with your organization in 2012 and through collaboration we will

make the conference series continue to grow and become ever more successful for everyone.

Our events sell out very quickly so to avoid disappointment do not delay on making your

decision to become a sponsor, exhibitor and/or workshop presenter. If you have questions
