We are expecting to attract about 500 attendees in 2017. Last year’s conference was held in Brisbane and attracted an audience of more than 450 executives from 181 different organisations, covering various sectors.

The official exhibitor networking times are during the arrival, morning and afternoon tea breaks and lunch, totalling approximately 6 hours. However, in past conferences we have noticed that many attendees choose to spend extra time networking during the formal sessions and remain in the exhibitor networking area.

Absolutely! Sponsor networks are able to get a 15% discount off the advertised rate. SlatteryIT provides you with a promo code and a digital flyer, which you can send to your networks.

We are happy to accommodate custom-made stands, but they must be not bigger than your allocated space.
As long as it fits within the space you have been given, you can deck out your booth with anything you can imagine! We would recommend having something interesting that will entice delegates to approach your booth and start a conversation.
Please see the Exhibition information section for more information on this.

If you would like to hire any furniture or equipment (at your own expense), you will need to contact our exhibition contractor – Harry the Hirer. Please see the Exhibition information section for more information on this, or contact Ida Laino on 03 9034 0585 or email idal@harrythehirer.com.au

Pretty much anything except paper! We strongly advise sponsors to steer away from brochures, leaflets and any other kind of paper based product as each year delegates have expressed a dislike of receiving paper in their bags. We recommend giving something edible (chocolates etc – however, please ensure these are pre packaged items) or a promotional item (eg USBs, keep cups, stress balls etc).

For Diamond sponsors, banners will be located on the stage in the plenary and all
break out rooms; as well as one in the networking/registration area.
For Platinum sponsors, banners will be located on the stage in the plenary; as well as one in the networking/registration area.
For Gold sponsors, one banner can be displayed in the networking/registration area.
