Conference Speakers
A great line up of Australian and international speakers with many interesting and informative presentations.
Sponsors and Exhibitors
A presence at these major conferences can be of great benefit to both companies and organisations. It maintains a high profile for those involved in any aspect of the herbal profession and industry, it confirms a commitment to the industry and to the user, and at the same time gives exposure at a national and international level of both resources and products.
-
Previous conferences have seen around 400 delegates. We anticipate at least this number and will be working to increase that. As this conference specifically targets practitioners and students of herbal medicine and naturopathy, it offers a very focused marketing opportunity for companies.
-
There are several categories of sponsorship which we hope will cover the wishes and needs of all. These are priced according to location, size and benefits. Allocation of areas will be given in order of acceptance of a sponsorship package.
