Sponsorship and Exhibition

The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour, Sydney is the venue for the OT NSW-ACT Conference 2009, and is well set up for dynamic and efficient flow of delegates to session rooms and exhibition areas.

The exhibition area will be held in close vicinity of the plenary room and concurrent session rooms, and amongst catering stations. With a variety of trade display facilities and a range of ponsorship packages, these provide valuable opportunities for organisations to promote, gain access and exposure to key target markets and decision makers nationally. Delegates will also be actively encouraged to visit all exhibition booths during catering breaks.

Some important benefits of sponsorship and exhibition are:

• Increase in exposure to target markets
• Access to key decision makers
• Brand positioning and profiling
• Access to both state and national delegates
• Opportunity to increase sales

Platinum Sponsorship – Price on Application (one opportunity only)

This tailored package is an opportunity to forge a partnership with OT AUSTRALIA to enhance your profile amongst, and achieve maximum exposure to all delegates as well as OT AUSTRALIA members in the lead up to the conference.
