here - 41st Annual ISNA Canada Convention

Dear Brother/Sister:
RE: Bazaar Space at the 41st Annual ISNA Canada Convention - 2015
Assalaamu Alaikum. I hope you are enjoying good health and high Islamic spirits.
This is to inform you that the 41st Annual ISNA Canada Convention will be held on
Friday May 15th, Sat., May 16th & Sun., May 17th, 2015 at the Islamic Society of North
America – Canada Headquarters located at 2200 South Sheridan Way, Mississauga,
Ontario, L5J 2M4.
Our community will be hosting prominent North American and International
speakers. We expect participants from across Canada and the USA. This will provide
a good opportunity to introduce your business, products or services to many new
potential customers.
In response to exhibitors and attendee feedback, ISNA Canada has made and is
continuing to make every effort to ensure a more enjoyable experience for the
exhibitors and attendees.
Please note:
• The Bazaar will be for three days, including Juma Salaat traffic of a Long
Weekend
• To ensure that vendors have maximum exposure, the tent has been set up in
the front car park where vendors will have maximum exposure to the traffic
and guests
• There is free admission into the bazaar and we will begin announcing this at the
Juma Salaat announcements at least 7 weeks in advance
• The fees are nominal compared to other events in and around the GTA including
the Eid bazaars
• Successful bazaars were held at ISNA the past few years and we plan on marketing
the bazaar specifically - we are not relying solely on convention guest participation
• We kindly request that you contact your 'client' list or send the list to us so we can
market/mail/email them in confidence. OR you can subscribe to our email list and
when we send information about the convention you can forward it on to your
contact list
• Kindly note, twenty five percent (25%) of the tables are already booked, and we
have not yet begun marketing the event. We are going to be filling up fast this year!
Therefore, on behalf of ISNA Canada, I invite you to participate in the Bazaar section
of the convention. I am enclosing a Bazaar Registration form and Terms and
Conditions with this letter. The space is available on a first come, first serve basis and
as always the space is limited. In order to guarantee a space, the office must receive
by Friday, May 1, 2015:
(a) The Application Form
(b) Signed, Terms and Conditions Agreement
(c) Fee Payable to ISNA Canada
All potential exhibitors for Bazaar space must carefully read and complete the
application and terms and conditions. If you have any concerns or questions, please
do not hesitate to contact the office.
May Allah (SWT) reward your efforts.
Jazakallahu Khairun.
