ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Welcome
The 2015 WorkSmart Conference Committee offer your organisation a range of business opportunities which will allow
your company to participate as an integral part of this annual event.
The conference will provide an invaluable opportunity to build relationships with individuals representing the Office
Professionals Industry.
With morning and afternoon tea for the duration of the conference being served in the exhibition area, sponsors can
achieve the face-to-face contact to promote their products.
The conference committee appreciates your consideration of support for this event and looks forward to the opportunity to
develop a mutually beneficial partnership.
The Conference
QUT Conferences, a unit within the Division of Research and Commercialisation, at the Queensland University of
Technology, have been running the national conference for 22 years.
The brand WorkSmart captures the true essence of the conference – to empower each person with the skills and tools to
perform to their maximum, while maintaining a healthy work / life balance.
This year we are hosting the event at the QT Gold Coast hotel. The venue offers delegates, sponsors and exhibitors an
intimate, exclusive and trendy venue.
Delegates
This national conference will provide access to an audience of approximately 200 delegates; predominately women
working in administrative roles, within the public and private sectors.
Delegates travel from as far as Sydney and Melbourne and for some, this is their annual work escape.
Delegates Include:
 Personal Assistants
 Executive Support
 Finance Officers
 Executive Coordinators
 Executive Officers
 Project Officers
 Office Managers
 Business Support
 Administration Officers
 Secretaries

across Australia.
Why Sponsor/Exhibit at the 2015 WorkSmart Conference for Office Professionals?
 It is a great way to access a wider and different audience than other communication activities allow, while maintaining a
high profile in valuable target markets before, during and after the event.
 Conference delegates attend to improve their knowledge, aligning your company with this experience demonstrates
your commitment to the profession.
 Enable your organisations representatives to mix informally with industry professionals, leaders, local governance
personnel, planners and speakers.

The following packages we are offering are by no means limited and we welcome the opportunity to discuss any variations
to the options or design a tailor made sponsorship package suited to your corporate requirements. Please contact QUT
