Sponsoring our events provides a unique marketing channel for you to build relationships and relay key messages to a relevant and influential local government audience.

Sponsorship generally includes direct financial contributions but may also involve in-kind services or products provided to us.

We carefully select corporate partners who are socially and environmentally engaged and who can provide products or services at significant cost savings or efficiencies for the sector.

As a sponsor, you can connect with key decision-makers through our extensive databases, direct marketing channels and online presence.

Opportunities exist for the following types of sponsors:

• principal and major
• catering or social function
• trade display
• delegate
