We’re delighted to invite COMPANY to be our Platinum sponsor at Open 2017 – the LIANZA conference, held
from September 24 to 27 at Addington Raceway in Christchurch. We don’t see you as a sponsor – we see you as
a partner in delivering this event to the sector.
As Platinum partner we’d invite you to address the delegates with a 15 minute presentation on what Open
means to your organisation. We’ll arrange a time that works best for you – either during the opening ceremony
or in the main plenary on day one.
We’ll also make your partnership visible to the sector through:
- Prominence on the pocket programme and name badge
- Mention of your support during opening and closing ceremonies
- Company logo on our website, header and holding slides during conference sessions, and in conference
app
- Full page in our conference handbook
- Banner (provided by you) in main plenary
In the exhibition you’ll receive:
- First choice of stand placement ( we suggest stands 62 / 63 at the entrance to the exhibit or stands 59-
61)
- 4 complimentary exhibitor registrations including welcome function and dinner
- Trestle tables, chairs, table cloth and power supply
We look forward to working with you on this event!
