You will be hard pressed to find another Australian conference with this much sponsor-side talent in one room as delegates will at the Sponsorship News Conference (Marvel Stadium - Melbourne - Tuesday, October 18).

The line-up for the single-day Sponsorship News Melbourne Conference rivals any two-day, multi-session event and has been curated to provide maximum delegate value with minimal fluff.

This is an in-person, live conference. There will be no Zooms or Teams  - it’s face to face at Marvel Stadium with ample networking opportunities.

You will not hear CEOs spouting their sport’s commercial credentials, nor will you be pitched sponsorships by opportunistic rights holders.

What you will gain is genuine insights into how to make your sponsorship program better from the professionals that can boast significant success in the partnerships space.

The conference is relevant to rights holders and sponsors alike – and will attract some of the best thinkers in our sector.

Delegates will not only walk away from the Sponsorship News Conference with renewed optimism, but also confidence that firsthand knowledge shared with them is relevant because it comes from reliable sources.

We offer significant discounts to Sponsorship News subscribers and there are generous savings for purchasing more than one ticket.
