LASA National Congress 2017 15 18 OCTOBER 2017, GOLD COAST REACH THE DECISION MAKERS IN AGED CARE IN ONE PLACE SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION PROSPECTUS www.lasa.asn.au
LASA National Congress is Australia s biggest aged service industry event attended by leaders and decision makers across the nation s age services industry. Exhibitor and sponsor numbers have increased significantly in recent years as they look to target the large number of key staff and service providers attending the event from across retirement living, home and community care and residential aged care. The 2017 Congress will be more dynamic that ever, with industry players keen to meet and discuss new home care reforms, government reviews and the future of government funding as well as innovative ideas for care delivery and new approaches to care models. Our Congress will speak to providers across the spectrum, from not-for-profits and church groups to the big multinational providers and everyone in between. Exhibitors will have new opportunities to engage with delegates, meet new people, forge new partnerships and demonstrate your company s capabilities to the right audience. Last year an incredible 51.4% (594) of Congress delegates were new to aged care, highlighting huge growth and change across our industry. If you only attend one event this year, it has to be LASA National Congress on the Gold Coast.
