Greetings,
This year, Central States will be holding its annual meeting at the Sheraton South Hotel, in
Bloomington, MN, about 10 minutes west of the airport and the Mall of America. It is an
excellent venue and we have organized an exceptional technical program. Reservations
are now being accepted for the vendor exhibition. In the attached packet, note that the
early exhibitor registration deadline has been moved up from what it has been in the past.
The main reason is to meet the publishing deadlines for the conference issue of our new
Central States Water magazine. If your company registers by February 15, 2008, you will
be assured of a listing in the magazine showing your location on the exhibition floor.
Also, if you choose to become a sponsor by this early deadline, your name will be listed
on the sponsors’ page in the magazine. Of course, those who contribute at the higher
levels will have a more prominent listing. There will also be sponsor poster boards placed
at key locations during the conference.
New for the 2008 conference:
• There will be no concurrent technical papers during the exhibits.
• Cabana rooms in the pool area will be available on Monday & Tuesday evening
(after 9:00 p.m.) for those who wish to provide hospitality suites for their friends
and associates. Arrangements for these hospitality suites should be made on your
own by contacting the Sheraton. The Sheraton has blocked out a small block of
Cabana Rooms for us, so please ask for the CSWEA room rates.
We will continue with the 5 minute vendor talks this year, as this was a big success last
year. The Water for People silent auction will also be continued. This is the charity of
choice for CSWEA/WEF and I very strongly encourage all exhibitors to participate.
I want to thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you at the conference. If
you have any questions please contact me or one of the key people listed in this mailing.
Sincerely,
Dennis Lindeke
President, CSWEA
