German term or phrase: Wir freuen uns schon jetzt mit Ihnen

Context:

"Wir freuen uns schon jetzt mit Ihnen auf eine erfolgreiche MESSE 2011 mit Ihnen!"
(MESSE is where the name of the fair appears.)

This at the end of a letter fro the trade fair organisers to exhibitors. The meaning is clear, but how can I get it across in English without becoming terribly verbose?
"We – just like you – are looking forward to a successful time at ..." doesn't seem quite right.

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Letter to trade fair exhibitors
* Target audience: Trade fair exhibitors
* Country and dialect (source): Germany
* Country and dialect (target): British English
