Sponsorship opportunities at the Strata and Community Title in Australia for the 21 st Century 2013 Conference 4 6 September 2013 Marriott Surfers Paradise Resort & Spa Conference Objective The over-riding objective of the conference is to stimulate debate and research consistent with building and strengthening partnerships across the spectrum of stakeholders. Consistent with our previous biennial conferences that date back to 2005, the 2013 conference programme is being formulated in the spirit of advancing cohesiveness across strata title stakeholders and more fully realising the potential of strata and community title ownership to deliver sustainable outcomes in communal living and working environments. What will be different at the 2013 Conference? While the conference agenda is being designed to again attract the mainstream delegates who have attended the previous events, considerable effort is being directed to attracting more developer, state government and local government authority representatives. This attempt is underscored by the hosting of a strata title policy makers forum immediately prior to the conference. Why be a sponsor?
