Exhibit and Sponsorship Opportunities
We welcome exhibitors as valued participants in the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2012! The trade exhibition, which is coinciding with the conference will take place in the Jupiters Gold Coast Pavilion Marquee, adjacent to the Pavilion Convention Centre. The Marquee allows for 33 spacious trade exhibit booths – the large venue will also ensure delegates have plenty of room to mingle through the exhibit during ALL morning and afternoon tea and lunch breaks. All meals will be served in this area too.
We have included below a detailed floor plan of the Pavilion Marquee, to give you a feel for the set up and the best opportunity to secure the optimal booth location. We encourage you to get in quick – we fully expect the exhibit to be booked out by the end of the year, given the level of interest so far! Because of the strong interest in securing exhibit spaces, we will limit exhibitors only to those focused on technologies – this will be the area of most interest to our delegates.
Should you be interested in sponsorship, please contact us – we are more than willing to discuss with you the many opportunities and ways of how you can be involved!
To find out more about the trade exhibition, please download the Exhibition Prospectus and Booking Form, or contact Eliza Bale, Conference Convenor at Spectronics on (07) 3808 6833 or +61 7 3808 6833 if calling from outside Australia.
