2019 VET CEO Conference WHY SPONSOR THE 2019 VET CEO CONFERENCE? The 2019 VET CEO Conference will provide a unique networking platform for the top level of management staff from Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) across the country. The 2019 VET CEO Conference will provide an opportunity for organisations and individuals to showcase products and services to a targeted market of CEOs and senior business management.

Location Why Sydney?

In 2019 we are taking a trip down the coast of Australia to our leading global city and epicentre of innovative business. Sydney is one of the world’s most green, global and connected cities and we believe there isn’t a better location to spark your motivation for the VET industry.

Spectacularly draped around its glorious harbour and beaches, Sydney has visual wow factor like few other cities. Scratch the surface and it only gets better. From spectacular Sydney Harbour and idyllic beaches to the marvellous creativity of the Sydney Opera House, dazzling entertainment and fascinating heritage, Sydney is home to some of the world’s most iconic attractions and events.

Besides its opulence and natural beauty, Sydney holds something essential for the future of business in Australia, and in particular the VET sector. Amongst the top 500 Australian corporations, 40% have their headquarters located in Sydney - it’s no coincidence that it is THE destination of choice for international corporations, business leaders, tourists and students. With the greatest share of knowledge-intensive jobs within Australia, Sydney is also the leading knowledge-based economy.

More than anything, Sydney is focused on the future and is internationally recognised for its dedication and motivation towards environmental performance and economic prosperity. As a CEO, Sydney presents itself as a resource that needs to be ignited and we want to provide that spark for you.

Doltone House, Darling Island Let’s be honest, where else would we host a conference dedicated to the very best in VET besides the most luxurious venue we could find? Doltone House’s Darling Island is a spectacular waterfront venue on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, with views of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and magical city skyline. Darling Island is the first six-star green-star rated building in NSW. Doltone House, Darling Island, 48 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont NSW 2009

Sponsorship Applications

Prize Donations: In Kind

To submit an application, complete and return the sponsorship form, including payment details. Sponsorship opportunities are limited - returning an application form does not guarantee place.

All sponsors (regardless of their chosen package) have the ability to donate prizes to Velg Training, to be drawn (via lucky draw) during the Conference. This is a great way to provide sponsors with additional exposure and brand awareness.

Once the application form has been received, Velg Training will send a confirmation email, including a paid tax invoice and full details of entitlements. Full payment is required at time of application.

Key Dates Sponsorship applications close: 29 March 2019 Payment due: at time of application Cancellation (deposit kept by Velg Training) will be accepted up to: 29 March 2019 Cancellation (50% of total sponsorship option kept by Velg Training) will be accepted up to: 26 April 2019.

Conference date: 17 May 2019.

These prizes donations must be advised to Velg Training by no later than 26 April 2019. Velg Training will administer the draw and notification of winners to delegates.

Other prize draws can also be run (and are encouraged to be run) at a Sponsor’s booth, independently. This is an excellent way to encourage personal interaction direct with delegates (business card draw or similar), and a fantastic way to broaden your own potential client listing. These booth-run prize draws however are to be administered by the Sponsor.

Sponsorship Payment: Payment options are outlined on the Sponsorship Application & Payment Form. We accept Electronic Funds Transfer or credit card. Velg Training will issue a paid tax invoice upon receipt of payment.
