SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING

Most sponsorship opportunities for the Conference have now been sold but Bronze Sponsorships, Accessories and one Session Break remain available.  Click here for details and to register your interest.

Delegates to the Conference will each receive a high quality 40 page Conference Handbook containing the program, abstracts, speakers' biographies and the agenda for the Annual General Meeting.  We expected it to be used as a year-round resource to reference contacts made at the Conference.  In an environment replete with decision-makers, placement of an advertisement in the Handbook will provide an outstanding opportunity to lift a company's profile.  Click here for details on rates, specifications and layout (PDF 258 KB).

The Esplanade Hotel also offers a special Conference rate for SIA Conference Delegates of $195.00 for a Superior Room, $30.50 for Buffet Breakfast and $15.00 per day for Valet Parking.  Delegates with a ".gov.au" email address can book here for the same room rate but you may not get the other benefits.
