Invitation from the ARPA President

The Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association (ARPA) is the only industry body that represents providers of Occupational Rehabilitation across Australia. If your business could benefit from closer contact with key stakeholders connected to this sector, the sponsorship and exhibition opportunities at the ARPA 2010 Conference will provide you with a powerful and cost-effective means of reinforcing your corporate brand and reaching this target market.

ARPA’s fluency in the disability management arena enables us to field speakers of exceptional quality. Our marketing database has been built up over many years and has wide reach within the sector which we operate. This database along with the strength of the 2010 Conference Program enables us to scope a closely defined target audience of executives and industry professionals. Not only does sponsoring and exhibiting afford exposure for your product(s) at the Conference there are also the social events such as the Welcome Reception, Gala Dinner, lunches and breaks that allow networking and establishing personal contacts. Our experience tells us these gatherings are very well attended and provide additional layers of opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors.

ARPA National can assure you the 2010 Conference will be promoted broadly throughout Australia and overseas.

Our flexible range of promotional opportunities will enable you to meet and influence people with a proven interest in disability management services and help you achieve business returns from this investment.

We look forward to your participation.
