Features at a Glance

Smart Phone Application inclusions – the OSSANZ Conference 2012 Smart Phone application will be launched in late 2011. This is an exciting project for OSSANZ as it means that speakers, program and exhibition details will all be accessible via the app. As an introductory launch, all companies that purchase a booth will have the accessibility on the app to upload their company logo, information about products and services and downloadable pdf documents. There are also additional packages to be purchased to give your company extra exposure. The app will be available on all internet ready mobile phones including iPhone, Android, Blackberry and iPad.

New levels of sponsorship to cater for broad range of interests – this year in addition to Prime and Silver Sponsorship there will also be additional levels and options to allow greater involvement in sponsorship opportunities. In addition to sponsorship packages, companies may select options from a ‘Menu style’ list to complement their investment in an exhibition booth.

Dedicated Exhibition Hall – the entire trade exhibition will be held in a dedicated exhibition hall. This means that there will be adequate space for all booths which will be designed to maximise the space; providing good flow throughout the entire area and reducing dead spots.

NO increase in existing Exhibition and Sponsorship packages – the fees have been maintained at 2010 pricing so that the exhibition is more accessible to organisations, and so that you can encourage greater participation of your staff.

Introducing an ‘Exhibitor Passport’ – this is to encourage delegates to visit all booths and network and engage with all exhibitors. Delegates will be required to visit all booths to enter their passport for the chance to win a prize. (Prize is yet to be determined, but will be something coveted such as a bottle of Penfolds Grange!).

‘Market Place’ for entry level exhibitors – this will be an area set aside for entry level exhibitors who only require minimal display space for their products and services. This will allow a number of companies to exhibit for whom previous exhibition package were prohibitive. (Market Place displays are only available on application and approval by Committee).

Extended Program Times and Access to Delegates – three days of program from Wednesday morning until Friday evening (with half day free on Thursday)

Opportunities for informal networking – Sponsors and exhibitors are welcome to organise events for delegates on Thursday evening or Tuesday evening, but there will be no ‘official’ sponsored social events. (Please note that all events organised around the conference from Tuesday 10 April to Saturday 14 April must be notified and registered with the Conference office). Tickets to the two official Conference social events – the Welcome Reception and the OSSANZ Conference Dinner is included as part of the exhibition and sponsorship entitlements (not for Market Place displays).

More Allied Health involvement – the half day concurrent stream for Allied Health will take place on Thursday morning. There will also be specialist meetings set up for various Allied Health groups such as Nurses, Dieticians, Psychologists etc.
