Ayurveda: Living Healthy Longer

Dear Colleague,

We wish to invite you to participate in our upcoming conference, Ayurveda: Living Healthy Longer.  The purpose of the conference is to create a broader awareness of Ayurveda with a focus on the care of the elderly population in North America.  With an ever increasing trend and emphasis on anti-aging and reversing the clock in our society, many of us are encouraged to deny the aging factor, instead of embracing it with positive hearts, minds and bodies.  This conference introduces the ancient wisdom science of Ayurveda which teaches us to invest in a holistic lifestyle which nourishes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.  Ayurveda teaches us how to introduce and restore balance in ways which lead to fulfilled and happy lives.

The wellness field in the US has experienced explosive growth over the last decade with every indication that this trend will continue.

We are looking for Exhibitors/Advertisers/Sponsors who are part of the Ayurvedic field, or part of the holistic health industry.  We are seeking partners who provide services or products that connect with the interests of our attendees.

By participating in the HU Conference on Ayurveda, you can create visibility amongst this powerful group of Ayurveda and Yoga practitioners who will be traveling across the country to attend this event. 

Please find in your package information on sponsorship and exhibitors.

Sincerely,

The Conference on Ayurveda Team
