PRIZES & COMPETITIONS

We will list any prizes, competitions or giveaways you are offering from your stand.

This will also help as a conversation starter and may reduce the need for repetition re introducing the prize/competition when delegates arrive at your stand.

We can notify winners of your competition onsite, prior to the final catering session on Sun 14 June, and encourage them to visit your stand to collect their prize prior to leaving the conference. We can only do this for exhibitors who advise us what competition they are running.

You will need to advise the winner of your competition to us at the conference registration desk by 5pm on Sat 13 June.

Deadline for receiving your prize/competition details is Fri 01 May 2026.

DELEGATE FLOW COMPETITION

To encourage delegate flow in all areas we are running a "Digital Passport" via the Whova app.

Attendees can access the Passport Contest through the home page of the app. From here, they will be able to collect stamps by visiting your booth and getting their QR Code scanned.

Please ensure you have at least one person on the stand who has downloaded the app to scan attendees who want to enter the competition.

Delegates will need to obtain a "stamp" from all exhibitors to enter the draw for a $2,000 travel voucher.
