2020 VET CEO Conference WHY SPONSOR THE 2020 VET CEO CONFERENCE? The VET CEO Conference will provide a unique networking platform for the top level of management staff from Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) across the country. The VET CEO Conference will provide an opportunity for organisations and individuals to showcase products and services to a targeted market of CEOs and senior business management. Sponsorship benefits are geared toward a return on investment, and for the sponsoring organisation this includes opportunities to: • Meet and build relationships with key decision makers in the VET industry • Promote and increase brand awareness • Communicate directly with a targeted audience • Generate fantastic leads • Launch new products and services to existing and potential clients • Keep up-to-date with industry trends • Receive valuable feedback from the sector
WHO WILL BE ATTENDING? The VET CEO Conference is expected to attract more than 100 delegates from across Australia. The VET CEO Conference is an exclusive forum for CEOs and senior business leaders to come together and hear from leading industry experts and to engage in discussions with like-minded individuals. The event will be tailored to content that is directly relevant to: •
CEOs of Registered Training Organisations
•
Owners of Registered Training Organisations
•

Location Why the Gold Coast? Kick back, relax and take in the glorious weather and lifestyle that the Gold Coast has on offer - you deserve it! The Gold Coast remains the country’s premier tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million visitors each year. Hugging Queensland’s southeast coast for a whopping 70km, the City of the Gold Coast extends far beyond the borders of Surfers Paradise, its hedonistic heart. The iconic oceanfront hosts everything from yachting to kayaking and deep sea fishing, while groups looking for a change of pace might try a V8 Supercars experience or a hair-raising jetboat ride. Beyond the beaches, discover laid-back neighbourhoods, a booming culinary scene and the Gold Coast’s famous theme parks. And be sure to leave enough time for a trip into the subtropical hinterland for rainforest walks and waterfalls. The Gold Coast is full of activities perfect for conventioneers or business event delegates hoping to make their stay special: on-water adventures, adrenalised action, chilled eco-experiences and Australian wildlife and Indigenous adventures. The best part? The Gold Coast, similarly to Velg Training’s home in Brisbane, boasts a sub-tropical climate... allowing you to bask in the sunshine for approximately 80% of the year.
QT Gold Coast Created to inspire conversation and arrest the senses, QT Gold Coast is an extraordinary hotel where an eclectic mix of design and art come to life. Located in the heart of the Goldy, QT Gold Coast is moments from the light rail, convention centre and most importantly, the lifeguard towers and golden sand of the Surfers Paradise beach.

Sponsorship Applications
Prize Donations: In Kind
To submit an application, complete and return the sponsorship form, including payment details. Sponsorship opportunities are limited - returning an application form does not guarantee a place.
All sponsors (regardless of their chosen package) have the ability to donate prizes to Velg Training, to be drawn (via lucky draw) during the Conference. This is a great way to provide sponsors with additional exposure and brand awareness.
Once the application form has been received, Velg Training will send a confirmation email, including a paid tax invoice and full details of entitlements.
Key Dates Sponsorship applications close: 31 August 2020 Payment due: 20% deposit at time of application Cancellation (deposit kept by Velg Training) will be accepted up to: 31 August 2020 Cancellation (50% of total sponsorship option kept by Velg Training) will be accepted up to: 25 September 2020 Conference date: 16 October 2020
These prizes donations must be advised to Velg Training by no later than 25 September 2020. Velg Training will administer the draw and notification of winners to delegates. Other prize draws can also be run (and are encouraged to be run) at a Sponsor’s trade display, independently. This is an excellent way to encourage personal interaction direct with delegates (business card draw or similar), and a fantastic way to broaden your own potential client listing. These sponsor-run prize draws however are to be administered by the Sponsor at their trade display.
Sponsorship Payment: Payment options are outlined on the Sponsorship Application & Payment Form. We accept Electronic Funds Transfer or credit card. Velg Training will issue a paid tax invoice upon receipt of payment. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. *Cancellation Policy: Cancellations must be made in writing to, and acknowledged by Velg Training. Cancellations (with deposit kept) will only be granted if notice of cancellation of sponsorship is given by no later than the 31 August 2020.
