By Geoff Kirton - 11th August 2005 - Back to News

The Gippsland Agribusiness Forum is delighted to announce, that it will be facilitating the first Australia - China Agribusiness Conference at the Melbourne Park Conference Centre, Batman Avenue Melbourne.

The invitees from China are leaders in the l private and Government sectors and the major decision makers from their agribusiness sectors.

The China economy is booming and with higher living standards western foods are becoming more popular. With the growth in the economy the demand for greater variety, better quality and taste are key market drivers.

This conference gives agribusiness leaders from Australia the opportunity to meet with the highest level of Chinese decision makers. We are limiting the number of Australian companies and attendees to give those who assist with sponsorship maximum exposure to the Chinese guests.

We have 2 major sponsors and inviting 20 private industry groups and 10 Government or semi government bodies to take up sponsorship. This sponsorship will give you a greater presence and ensure you get maximum exposure to the delegates from both countries. A complete sponsorship package for you will include a trade stand, conference tickets, pre and post conference time with the Chinese delegates and maximum publicity of your organization. Sponsors will have promotion material included in the conference satchels and will have interpreting services available to them.

We want you to get maximum exposure, as the people you will meet from China will represent the best possible opportunities to do business. The sponsorships are priced at $2,000.00 + GST (about the cost of an air ticket to Beijing but here you have the interested parties coming to you).

Organizations from other regions wanting to snap up this opportunity but we are committed to work with you. We look forward to your immediate response, as we want to ensure you are able to take up this opportunity.
