Based on the numbers provided (delegates, total room nights and estimated expenses for the conference)*, the 2021 International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy qualifies for up to $32,248 CAD* in financial support. To move forward with this opportunity, Winnipeg must be selected as host city by December 31, 2017. After confirming Winnipeg as the host city for the 2021 International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy, the International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy will receive two documents: the Mutual Agreement for Payment and Requirements and the Post Conference Report from the Special Conference Tourism Fund, which will outline the terms, use of funds and pre/post conference documentation required. Please note that a grant reassignment letter will be required should financial support be disbursed to a local host organization. Please ensure the City of Winnipeg and Tourism Winnipeg, a division of Economic Development Winnipeg Inc., are appropriately recognized in sponsorship of the conference. We are confident your delegates will enjoy their experience and warm hospitality of our growing city in the heart of the continent. Winnipeg is looking forward to the possibility of hosting the 2021 International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy and to working with you. Please contact Virginie De Visscher, Business Development Manager at 204.954.1984 should you have any questions. Sincerely, Karen Goossen Executive Director Tourism Winnipeg *If the numbers are less than projected, the financial support will be prorated. Please note financial support is in Canadian Dollars.
