Exhibit and Sponsorship Opportunities
Promote your app(s) or other technologies at the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference in Oz in May 2012 – and for the 12 months to follow!
Alas … as you can see by the list of exhibitors below, the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2012 Exhibit Hall is full! It has been booked out for months. We also have a long waiting list of exhibitors keen to join us if someone pulls out at the last minute. So we are no longer accepting applications to exhibit at the conference.
BUT, in response to popular demand, we are offering a new and exciting opportunity for you to promote your technologies including app(s) directly to the 1200+ delegates attending the conference from 22nd to 25th May this year. 1200+ delegates gathered to enthusiastically learn about iPads, apps and other educational technologies to support their students. Students who struggle with literacy. Students with disabilities (including autism). Students who just need a bit more support than others.

All iPads (on loan for the event from Apple Australia) will be synced from a common build. Of course at the end of the conference all apps will be deleted from these iPads and each will be restored to its original settings.
