ECA National Conference Newsletter
Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available!
The Sponsorship and Exhibition Prospectus is now live! We have had an amazing response from sponsors and exhibitors so far, who have already purchased packages and exhibition stands for the 2019 conference. We would love you to join us!
Sponsorship of the ECA National Conference is a great way to promote your organisation/business to the early childhood sector. Over the past three conferences, sponsorship and exhibition has sold out very fast—don’t miss your chance, secure your package today!
