Our Approach to Sponsors
Major sponsors have outstanding marketing opportunities that culminate in face-to-face meetings with customers and prospects.
  • Direct marketing - thousands of brochures are distributed to a targeted audience of decision makers.
  • Telemarketing - dedicated account managers call your target market to ensure their participation in the event
  • Advertisements and editorial coverage in key publications.
  • Internet - our dedicated event website is consistently updated with industry and event news. We also have a significant web banner campaign promoting the event throughout the year.
  • E-mail and fax marketing - every week will see a campaign dedicated to a specific portion of our target audience
  • Press relations - our powerful media partnerships mean more effective press relations
We appreciate each organisation is different, with individual objectives, ideas and style.
By gaining a clear understanding of your goals, we can tailor a package that best suits your marketing strategy. We will work with you to define your objectives, and ensure we deliver an outcome that achieves maximum return from your investment.
 
 
Before the event
Gain access to all registered delegates through our unique “CONTACT” system that enables you to schedule business meetings prior to the day of the event. We understand your time is valuable and provide these tools so you can maximise every minute at the event.
 
A visible presence throughout the pre-event marketing campaign provides maximum exposure to the market. Your logo will appear in press releases, direct mail and fax campaigns, and advertisements in leading industry publications and websites.
 
Invite your most valued clients and colleagues and give them an experience they will talk about! You will receive a number of discounted invitations for your VIPs, clients and colleagues.
Leverage the potential of your investment. During the lead-up to the event we will closely monitor your participation to ensure you are making the most of your sponsorship.
 
During the event
Network, relax and do business
Structured networking sessions such as Speed Networking provide a format for you to meet delegates and build your industry contacts. In as little as 45 minutes you can meet every delegate, and continue to develop these relationships with key contacts during the Cocktail Reception.
Get noticed and create a buzz from a highly visible presence – exhibiting, branding and onsite signage are just some of the options available during the event.
 
After the event
As a sponsor you will have continued access to the delegates through “CONTACT” as well as access to the presentation and white papers from the congress. Our team will provide you with a post-event evaluation report so you can see the full value of your participation and investment.
 
No other marketing or advertising medium can give you one-to-one access to senior decision-makers representing over 100 companies in this space. We provide you with the means to make the initial contact and then it is up to you to forge new business opportunities.
  
There are a limited number of sponsorship opportunities available to organisations wishing to position themselves as leaders in this industry – make sure you do not miss out on this opportunity.
