Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities

Sponsorship open - be a part of AIEC 2026!  

Capture the attention of the #intled sector at AIEC and have your organisation stand out from the crowd by sponsoring and/or exhibiting at AIEC 2026 in Sydney.

AIEC attracts a diverse range of international education professionals, including education providers, policy makers, and industry stakeholders. We expect over 1,700 delegates to attend in person, with a buzzing exhibition packed with booths and activation areas to network and engage with delegates.

There’s a wide range of packages available, all designed to give outstanding brand awareness and ROI to suit all budgets and objectives. All include multiple opportunities for brand exposure through pre-event and on-site activations, and most include complimentary passes and the opportunity to purchase additional registrations at the early bird exhibitor rate and/or group registrations.

We have a list of different opportunities to suit all budgets and objectives, but if you are looking for something special or have an idea that caters to your unique requirements as well as those of the conference, we would love to tailor a sponsorship package to suit your needs.

Packages can be built from the existing sponsorship opportunities above or other sponsorship ideas. The total investment will be decided upon receipt of your application, and contra agreements can be arranged.

Please email your proposal to the conference organiser and we will get back to you.
