Sponsor & Exhibitor Opportunities

Invitation

The 2026 Australian Guardianship and Administration Council (AGAC) Conference Committee invites you to participate in its next conference as a sponsor. The conference will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and online from 8–9 October 2026. The conference theme is Decision Time: Let’s Be the Change.

AGAC member organisations play a key role in protecting adults in Australia whose decision-making capacity is impaired by disability. Members include state and territory guardianship authorities and institutions, comprising public advocates, public and adult guardians, public and state trustees, and boards and tribunals with guardianship jurisdictions.

Sponsorship provides an opportunity to demonstrate your organisation’s support for and commitment to the sector. The conference offers a number of key benefits, including:

  • Exposure to a qualified, relevant and influential audience before, during and after the event
  • Networking opportunities to promote your organisation’s products and services directly to key decision-makers
  • Opportunities to build and strengthen long-term relationships with AGAC members
  • Positioning your organisation as an active supporter of AGAC
  • Consolidating existing industry relationships and developing new ones

A range of sponsorship packages is available. The Committee also welcomes alternative proposals and is open to tailoring a package to maximise value for both your organisation and the conference.

Your participation and support are valued, and we thank you for your consideration.
