Dear Sir/Madam,

We, The Ski Federation of Türkiye have started holding a series of Symposiums last year and will organise the next one between 1 - 2 December 2007 in Ankara. The first event had gathered the interest of approximately 220 participants and promised a regular reunion for getting together and discussing the future of winter sports in Türkiye. The participants ranged from ski instructers to investors, from government officials to resort operators and the contents of the symposium have been enriched by going over the technical matters and looking into the near future of the sector in our Country.

The most promising environment and the global interest for new investments to come, lead us to hold this years Symposium in a manner to encompass the interested parties worldwide so that we can share not only technical answers but also look clearly in to the why & hows of the problems that will be tackled in building and managing the fascilities and undertaking the organisation of major events granted to our Country. This year we will incorporate a special Panel in to the symposium to address the issues, opportunites, available technologies of the sector for both the present and prospective investors. Invited Panelists are chosen among the elite knowledgeable names of the sector and presentations will include; the two major local projects' masterplans, sectoral comparative discussion, main issues, etc.

We are also planning to include an exhibition area within the Symposium grounds, to enable the international technology, equipment and service suppliers to meet the Turkish sector to show the content and extent of their services. As a matter of fact this request has come from various international firms who have shown interest in Türkiye for a period of time so that they can provide the magnitude of their services to the Turkish counterparties who seem to be placed all over the Country. By this means we will be forming a platform where the investors will be meeting the technology producers.

To this end, SADA Trade Fairs Organisers Inc. have been appointed by us to organise this exhibition. They will be holding the contacts with yourselves on behalf of this organisation and we sincerely hope that you will show interest in this event and be with us during our Symposium. The program of the Symposium and the lecturers have been enclosed and we intend to post yourselves with probabale participation as time progresses. May you wish to contribute to the expected participants list we will be most happy to invite these people, if they, already, are not.

We wish to see you with us in Türkiye more often and believe that this organisation can be the next opportunity.

Sincerely Yours,

Dr. Özer Ayık
President
Turkish Ski Federation
