BENEFITS OF SPONSORSHIP
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
• Be seen as a contributing member of the ICT
profession in WA.
The ACS WA Conference 2015 is targeted at the
ICT profession in Western Australia. This includes
industry, government, academia and interested
technologists. The annual conference represents
a unique opportunity for key supporters and
sponsors to place their brand alongside the
thought leadership and key industry directions for
2015. The conference has become a high-profile
event for the ICT community in Western Australia.
• Opportunity to suggest a speaker from your
organisation for consideration on a noncommercial topic relevant to the conference
theme.
• Brand presence throughout the entire
calendar year at multiple ACS WA events.
• Exposure in front of a targeted audience.
WELCOME
WHY SHOULD YOU SPONSOR THE EVENT?
The Australian Computer Society (ACS) is the ICT
professional association for Australia.
Sponsorship of the ACS WA conference can provide
an organisation with many benefits. Members of the
ACS are widespread in the industry and hold many
positions in the ICT landscape. Sponsors of the
conference have a fantastic opportunity to promote
their business. We will promote the sponsors
before, during and after the conference. Sponsors
will also gain consistent exposure throughout the
year with recognition at all of the ACS Monthly
Forums for 2015.
In everything we do, our goal is to help our
members be the best they can be. We’re passionate
about recognising professionalism. We aim to
develop ICT skills and build a community with a true
sense of belonging.
Each year the ACS in Western Australia hosts a
conference to assist professional development of
its members. It is a fantastic opportunity to learn
new ideas and mix with professional peers. The
conference is open to all industry and academic
participants, and the wider ICT community.
The conference will be delving into the wide ranging
topic of Convergence. Convergence is where varied
systems merge to an entity of similar function.
This occurs in obvious places such as portable
electronic devices like mobile phones.
The conference will also examine less obvious
areas like human resourcing and its effect.
This year’s conference draws together a rich and
varied set of topics that contribute to the need
for the ICT industry to recognise the inescapable
arrival of convergence. In doing so, the conference
committee has incorporated industry feedback so
that the day goes beyond simple mashups and data
convergence to examine the social, technical, and
financial challenges of tomorrow’s ICT synergies.
For this conference the ACS will be giving students
an opportunity to present in Bright Sparks.
Placed in the programme on the morning of the
conference, ICT Students from High School, VET
and Higher Education will have 10 minutes on
the stage to share their idea, project or business.
The people presenting will be competing for the
privilege of presenting at the main conference. We
will encourage all delegates to attend and see the
bright future WA ICT has to offer.
Varied tiers allow an organisation to contribute in a
meaningful way according to budget.
• Want to see every delegate have a lanyard with
your company logo?
• Do you like the idea of everyone having a
conference bag with your company name /
logo on it?
• Does your organisation like to celebrate with
the best of them?
• Would you prefer to simply showcase your
organisation?
Let us help you show the rest of WA who you are.
• Showcase your products and services in the
sponsor’s hall and conference bag.
• Social media exposure (Facebook / Twitter)
• Support a growing ICT community.
• Email marketing to ACS members
• Engage with customers, potential business
associates and potential talent.
• Promotion at Branch Forums and other events
leading up to conference.
• Direct marketing to ACS PPP’s (B2B clients)

can be found in the Sponsorship Packages.

Conference Promotions
• Online promotions on the ACS website
“… this is probably the most interesting IT
conference I have attended in WA in a long while.
I usually go to the Leader Summit but I think I will
be making our Annual conference instead. I have
also attended several industry briefings like the
Fujitsu Executive breakfast on cloud last year
which was good – but yesterday was fantastic.”
“It made me rethink the way I look at how my
team goes about its future planning”
“Great, contemporary theme and good selection
of speakers. Although it was a half day, it seemed
longer in a good way!”
“Like the half-day format. Punchy”
