Vail Living Well understands the CSE’s strategic objectives for 2013 to include enhancing existing CSE funded events,
and to leverage them with greater community involvement, increased visibility in and around Vail Village and/or
Lionshead, and where possible, extend the event’s footprint to a wider and more impactful setting.
We also understand that an equally strong strategic initiative is to effectively integrate a sense of health & wellbeing
into Vail’s core brand communication.
•Premier International Health & Well-Being Destination – A Proof Point
•Convening world-renowned thought leaders in all fields of health & well-being
•By convening this high level, talented, and passionate group in Colorado, Vail Living Well
provides the opportunity for attendees and presenters to experience, learn and ultimately
embrace the critical tools needed for individuals and communities to become, and to remain
healthy.
•Visibility and Community Involvement
•High impact visibility within community through advertising, PR and database outreach
•Engagement of medical and health related institutions through the Scholarship Program
•National reach through Colorado Tourism Office involvement

people who have all made such substantial differences in their lives and in the lives of so
many others.”

Community Contribution
14 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/15/11
The town was alive during the Summit. Participants, Scholarship Recipients, and
renowned Presenters with credentials swinging back and forth, raced with smiles
on their faces, excited, and engaged in conversation, on their way to their next
session.
From one end of the village to the other, whether it be hotels--from the Antlers to
the Vail Mountain Lodge, restaurants--from Terra Bistro to Sweet Basil to La Tour
and to Ludwig's, and retail from Perch to Luca Bruno to the Golden Bear, all were
involved and feeling the energy and the pride. Vail is the personification of an
aspirational healthy lifestyle, and anyone working, walking, shopping, or Tai
Chi'ing certainly picked up on that energy while the Summit was in town.
