Why become a sponsor?
Sponsorship provides your organisation with the perfect opportunity to support Tasmanian business and showcase informative and inspirational content which is aimed at providing stimulus for growth.
Sponsorship demonstrates a level of commitment and support that will be openly displayed and widely acknowledged throughout the conference. Sponsoring the TMEC Annual Conference will increase the visibility of your company and promote your brand within our sectors.
2023 conference planning has incorporated feedback received following the 2022 conference. Improvements identified will see food service spread throughout the trade display area, encouraging more foot traffic throughout. Platinum and Gold sponsors will be afforded the opportunity to address conference delegates if they wish.
Please note that participation as a sponsor is a legitimate tax deduction in the form of advertising and promoting your company or organisation’s activities. There is a range of sponsorship packages available, each with a range of benefits tailored to suit a range of sponsors.
When: 26-27 July 2023
Where: Lower Conference Centre, Wrest Point Casino, 410 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay
TMEC’s annual conference provided participants with insights from leading local and national entities and Government which was essential input into a business’s strategic plan to ensure this sector continues to be the dominant economic and social contributor in Tasmania.
Cleaner
Changing the concept of waste being a nuisance by-product left over after processing to something which has unrealised economic value. Where are the next decarbonising opportunities for this sector. Understand how ESG improvement plans delivers results to the bottom line.
Smarter
Business viability is being improved using technology and leading productivity tools. The role of technology in a low unemployment environment. Options to de-risk the deployment of newer technology.
Diverse
The pursuit of a diverse workforce delivers a social benefit, but it goes much deeper than that. Diversity is a strategy to combat unfilled vacancies as much as it is to create market leading companies.
