Welcome

On behalf of the NSW branch of the Australian Homoeopathic Association (AHA), we would like to offer you the opportunity to sponsor and/or exhibit your products at the sixth national Australian Homoeopathic Medicine Conference (AHMC) to be held in Sydney on the 13th and 14th September 2008.

With up to 350 delegates participating over two days, the conference will provide our sponsors and exhibitors with excellent business development opportunities.

The theme for the Sydney conference is ‘Homoeopathy: Evidence & Efficacy’ and our keynote speaker is the well known and highly respected English homoeopath and rheumatologist, Dr Peter Fisher.

Dr Fisher is Clinical Director and Director of Research at the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital and has been Physician to HM The Queen since 2001. He is also Chair of the World Health Organisation’s working group on homoeopathy.

Over the last 12 years this biennial conference has been successful in attracting a wide audience. The 2008 conference will attract a wide range of delegates, predominately homoeopathic practitioners and students, as well as other health practitioners who recommend or incorporate homoeopathy into their practice. A well organized media campaign will ensure excellent public interest.

The benefits of sponsorship and participation in the AHMC conference are numerous. Most importantly, it provides you with an opportunity to make contact with hundreds of healthcare professionals. This is an opportunity to both promote and educate the healthcare community on the benefits of your products and to expose them to your range of homoeopathic products or services.

Our committee is dedicated to ensuring there are numerous networking opportunities available for sponsors and exhibitors to maximise the value of their investment. Our first call for papers will be sent out during July 2007 and sponsors will be listed on all outgoing correspondence thereafter. We urge you to advise us of your level of interest early and will contact you shortly to discuss the different sponsorship opportunities.
