ABA CONFERENCE and TRADEÂ EXHIBITION

YEARS

93

18-19|JUNE|2017 THE INTERCONTINENTAL MELBOURNE


SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS & EXHIBITOR RATES The ABA will be holding its 93rd Conference and Trade Exhibition at The Intercontinental Melbourne at The Rialto, located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD on the 18 & 19 June 2017. We’re delighted with the five-star venue that combines a sympathetic heritage overlay reflecting on Melbourne’s boom times of the late 19th century, with the 21st century modern features that a quality conference centre requires. The Intercontinental will be an ideal meeting place for independent, chain and franchise, library, educational and university booksellers; along with publishers, suppliers and service providers to come together as an industry. A key theme of this year’s Conference will be collaboration. We will be engaging further with our industry partners to create an atmosphere of dialogue, discussion, and co-operation during a program of interactive lectures, panel discussions and debate, and encourage constructive dialogue between delegates and trade exhibitors. With so many booksellers and bookshop owners authorised to make major business and buying decisions in one location you will have the opportunity to introduce your range of books, services, and products by taking a sponsorship package or exhibition package. The event will prove to be an invaluable and key marketing opportunity for your business.

Speak with Steve Jones to discuss how we may tailor one of our sponsorship or exhibition opportunities to work with your company’s 2017 marketing and promotional objectives. Email: conference@aba.org.au

Phone: 03 9859 7322

Please note that all prices quoted in this prospectus are exclusive of GST.


2017 CONFERENCE SPEAKERS Sponsoring an author to speak at the ABA Conference is a great opportunity to capture the attention of booksellers and the broader industry at a single event. It is a key reminder leading up to the holiday selling season about books that may be featured in windows or front tables, listed in catalogues, or result in author events in bookshops. There may also be opportunities for service providers to provide experts to present at Conference.
