Sponsorship and Trade Exhibition
The IFSO-APC OSSANZ Conference 2009 provides valuable access to bariatric surgeons and allied health professionals from across the Asia Pacific region. Around 200 delegates are expected; from around Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. As this is the first time that OSSANZ and IFSO – APC have co-hosted the conference, the program together with the conference’s superb location will provide international appeal.
With well placed trade display facilities and a different sponsorship package options, these provide valuable opportunities for organisations to promote, gain access and exposure to key target markets and decision makers.
Some important benefits of sponsorship and exhibition are:
- Increase in exposure to target markets
- Access to key decision makers
- Brand positioning and profiling
- Access to both national and international delegates
- Opportunity to increase sales
