Exhibitors and Sponsors
We welcome Sponsors and Exhibitors as valued participants in the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2010. To find out more about the exciting sponsorship and exhibition options available, please visit our Sponsorship and Exhibition Prospectus Page or download the Sponsorship and Exhibition Prospectus and Booking Form
Only 25 trade display booths are available! Booths will be allocated in order of receipt of completed Booking Form and payment in full. We are not able to add any further exhibit spaces – the 2008 exhibit was fully booked, so be sure to get in early!
As at January 2010 – only 1 exhibit remains! Because of the continued strong interest in securing exhibit spaces, we have to limit exhibitors only to those focused on technologies, as this will be the area of most interest to our delegates. Once all exhibit and sponsorship places are filled, we will add further potential exhibitors to a waiting list – and will advise immediately if a spot becomes available! For more information, contact Eliza Bale, Conference Convenor on conference@spectronicsinoz.com
