2008 IPF Masters World Powerlifting Championships

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome each of you to the 2008 IPF Masters World Powerlifting Championships. This year’s competition will be held at the wonderful Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, California. The venue is fantastic, with large, open galleries and spacious areas for warming up and vendors and spectators. The competition hotel, the Hilton Palm Springs is situated close to the venue and is one of the nicest hotels in the area. There are a number of fine restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The airport is a short drive (approximately 1.5 miles) from the venue and hotels.

This year’s competition is generously supported by CON-CRÉT, Titan Support Systems, Basquiat Vineyards of California, Downtown Athletic Club of Hemet, Ivanko Barbell Company, CSS Photo Design, and House of Pain Ironwear. With the support and assistance of these fine companies, we plan to host one of the best world competitions the IPF has ever seen.

The Palm Springs area is situated in the California desert not far from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and in the beautiful mountains of California’s eastern border. We look forward to seeing you here.

Sincerely,

L.J. (Larry) Maile, President
USA Powerlifting
