On behalf of the ANZAN Council and John O’Sullivan, Chair of the Scientific Program Committee, I have great pleasure in inviting you to
sponsor the ANZAN 2015 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), which will be held in Auckland, 12-15 May 2015.
ANZAN is proud that our Annual Scientific Meeting is the largest regular gathering of neurologists within Australasia. It is expected that
over 350 delegates will attend the ANZAN 2015 ASM. This is an excellent opportunity for you to promote your products and services to
neurologists in Australasia and to make contact with a select and valuable audience of key industry decision makers. Regardless of your level
of contribution to the meeting we can assure you of our sincere intent to make this a great meeting for sponsors and exhibitors, as well as
for our delegates.
This prospectus contains information on how you can be a part of an outstanding meeting. We welcome you to
join us in Auckland for ANZAN 2015 and look forward to working with you to maximise the promotional benefits
to your company from the meeting.

Auckland host city
To the scientific program we will be adding the unique character
of Auckland and some fine New Zealand hospitality. We are sure
that our sponsors, exhibitors and delegates will enjoy meeting in
the heart of Auckland.
As New Zealand’s largest city, it is also the international gateway to
the rest of the country. Auckland’s waterside location has fostered
the locals’ love affair with the sea, earning this place the nickname
“City of Sails”.
Auckland has so much to see and do - there’s plenty of
entertainment for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks. If you
want to venture just out of Auckland, you can take a arbour ferry
ride to Waiheke and spend the day visiting wineries or head north
of the city to Matakana, to check out Auckland’s neighbouring
regions. There is so much to experience in this beautiful harbour
city - the entertainment options are endless.
ASM venue
The 2015 ASM will be held in Auckland’s premier, modern, purpose
built conference facility. Chosen as it is the optimal Auckland venue
to accommodate a meeting and exhibition of this size, SKYCITY
Auckland Convention Centre is located in the heart of the CBD.
The exhibition will be located in a single large dedicated exhibition
hall. Delegate catering will be served amongst the exhibition to
maximise opportunities for interaction and networking. A variety
of accommodation options, all within walking distance to the
venue, will maximise convenience for our exhibitors and delegates.
Contact and other
opportunities
If these sponsorship and exhibition
opportunities and benefits fall outside
your requirements but you still wish to

Exhibition opportunities
The industry exhibition will be held in one hall of the SKYCITY
Auckland Convention Centre and will be the central hub of
all activities as part of the ASM program. All catering will be
served in this area including lunches, morning and afternoon
tea each day. The exhibition will be the ideal meeting place
for delegates to arrange to meet with colleagues, conduct
informal meetings and generally use the area as a ‘home base’
during the ASM.
A floor-plan will be designed and structured to provide
maximum exposure for exhibitors and also enable delegates
to move freely through the area. This gives each exhibitor a
tremendous opportunity to interact daily with the anticipated
350+ delegates.
The floor plan will be made available to exhibitors for their
stand selection in early 2015, once confirmed sponsors
have been given priority for stand selection. The Organising
Committee reserves the right to make changes to the floor
plan if necessary. Changes will not, however, be undertaken
without prior discussion with the organisation affected.
