Partnership and Sponsorship Opportunities
SAGE-AU is a not-for-profit organisation with a membership of around 900 experienced IT professionals across all major sectors. By choosing to sponsor SAGE-AU you can benefit your business by:
- Having a unique opportunity to introduce your products and services to key specifiers, influencers and decision-makers, who spend millions of dollars annually on technology and infrastructure support in Australia.
- Driving brand loyalty and creating awareness and visibility for your products and services through increased recognition of your company within our membership and in their organisations.
The SAGE-AU Partnership Program was developed to generate maximum exposure to our Partner’s target audience and return on their marketing investment.
Depending on the level of Partnership selected, your exposure to the national SAGE-AU community can extend to a guaranteed 12 month period. This reinforces and highlights your support of the industry through a comprehensive and coordinated program of national and state events and meetings, public relations and communications.
And to ensure that Partners leverage maximum benefit from their participation we will develop with them, an optional 12 month marketing action plan.
Conference specific partnerships are for the life of the one event only and are not included in marketing action plan option.
The following partnership/sponsorship opportunities are now available to ensure you leverage maximum benefit from your participation.
