SPONSOR-PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
– A Prospectus

It is expected that 300 people from around Australia and from overseas, will attend this conference, run in partnership with University of Tasmania’s Centre for Environment. These delegates will be influential in creating sound policy and effective modern practice in sustainable production in Tasmania and elsewhere.
In addition the planned Public Forum will also attract many others with the same range of interest locally. Media attention is assured because of the world importance of the topic – completed as it now is by issues of climate change and all its implications.
Advance Notification is being circulated directly via 3,500 brochures and PDF version of the Advance Notification has also been emailed through local, national and international networks. Conference registration literature and other promotional material in due course will have similar extensive coverage. Recognition of sponsors is planned to guarantee generous exposure in all promotional material including via our website (www.conferenceplus.com.au/biodiversity).

Opportunities exist for either general sponsorship or
sponsorship of specific elements of the Conference.
