Australian Network on Disability Annual Conference Proposal

The Australian Network on Disability annual conference is our crown event. With an engaged and growing audience, each year is bigger and better than the last. 2022 saw nearly 500 delegates attend with 300 In-person. This year we are aiming to have even more in person. Our audience includes CEOs, Senior Managers, Diversity Practitioners, Human Resources Professionals and WH&S Advisors, from both the public and private sectors.

Delegates are engaged, solutions-focused change makers who are passionate around issues related to inclusion of people with disability. Their experience in access and inclusion is wide and varied from showing an interest but not quite started to seasoned practitioners in mature organisations.

Sponsorship offerings available

What is the value?

Australian Network on Disability’s annual national conference is a unique and valuable way to demonstrate your businesses commitment to advancing the access and inclusion of people with disability. Held in a world class, accessible Sydney venue, with thought provoking presentations from leaders and experts, our conference will showcase the latest research, industry developments, experiences, and management tools.

Sponsors can leverage their participation in the conference in their own internal and external communications, showcasing their position as leaders for the inclusion of people with disability.

In addition to the reputational benefits the conference also provides significant opportunities to network with and influence senior decision makers from leading Australian businesses, in a motivating and positive environment.

Early confirmation of your sponsorship will ensure a higher level of exposure as we start promoting the event in market.
