Dear TMA Member and Corporate Renewal Professional:

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate as a sponsor of the Fourth Annual Turnaround Management Association (TMA) Western Regional Conference at the magnificent Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort in Santa Barbara, California, July 11-13, 2012. The opportunity is to support a now annual event, which is now a preeminent conference for TMA professionals in the Western Region.

Last year’s TMA Western Regional Conference was attended by 198 turnaround professionals, there were over 45 sponsors and the education committee presented in two days of educational sessions.

Sponsorship opportunities for the 2012 Conference range from $1,500 to $7,500 and offer significant visibility to a target audience of corporate renewal, turnaround and insolvency professionals. While we anticipate growing our attendance from 2011, we also will build on our momentum by hosting leading edge, educational seminars, unique networking events and fun opportunities to really get to know your fellow conference participants.

Four case studies and four panel presentations will spark an interactive education experience focusing on practical lessons of restructuring related issues, bringing the conference participants into the conversation. In addition, professionals from several high profile professional sports team bankruptcy cases will present an unusual inside look at the twists and turns of these turnarounds. In these dynamic challenging times, it is more important than ever that the turnaround industry seize every opportunity to engage and initiate conversation that serves as the catalyst to developing sustainable business solutions.

Professional networking has a leading edge meaning at the TMA Western Regional Conference. Our hope is to provide each attendee with an opportunity to make an impression on new professional contacts that extends beyond trading business cards and sharing a cocktail.

The site of our event, Santa Barbara, is well-known for its year-round perfect weather and meeting-friendly facilities. With average July temperatures in the low 80’s and no humidity, Santa Barbara provides an ideal setting for meetings, educational programs and networking events. In addition to exceptional conference facilities, guests will have the opportunity, before and after the conference, to stay at the Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort at the deeply discounted conference rates and enjoy the spa, beautiful grounds, pool and tennis facilities, plus the resort’s location on the beach for walks and bicycling. Santa Barbara’s harbor, museums, historical properties, zoological gardens, shops, wineries, art galleries and lively restaurant options offer plenty for everyone to do.

We are energized about the 4th Annual TMA Western Regional Conference. The Conference Board is working hard to build a meaningful, relevant and memorable event. We hope that you will become a sponsor, get involved and join the “Conversation in Action: A Behind the Scenes Look”
