Conference Call

Land & Water Australia [1] is seeking applications for conference sponsorship [2] for the 2007/08 financial year.

Land & Water Australia will be sponsoring up to 5 conferences with a maximum budget of $6,000 each.
Applications close on the 27 April 2007.

Conference support guidelines:
We receive many requests for conference sponsorships and wish to
evaluate these opportunities systematically and equitably. In evaluating
event sponsorship opportunities we will consider:

• the number and diversity of participants;
• the quality of knowledge exchange activities proposed;
• the quality of event organisation and information dissemination;
• diversity between selected conferences;
• the alignment of the subject matter with the Land & Water Australia R&D Strategic Plan 2005-2010 [3].

It is our policy not to support a conference for more than 3 years consecutively.

Later & Water Australia has certain expectations when sponsoring conferences. For our sponsorship we require the following (if not covered in a conference sponsorship package):

• Acknowledge Land & Water Australia by providing signage, or opportunities for signage, at the event;
• Provide complementary display space in the event of an exhibition or trade show;
• Provide verbal acknowledgement at the event, and in the conference proceedings, describing Land & Water Australia's support to the event;
• Distribute Land & Water Australia literature and/or other natural resource management information to event participants via conference packages/satchel inserts;
• Recognise Land & Water Australia in all media advertising by displaying the Land & Water Australia logo and acknowledging that event funding has been provided by Land & Water Australia.
