Conference Sponsorship

The Association has a large group of bronze sponsors who support our annual conference. Some of these sponsors have been with us for many years and have found the exposure they receive at conference is beneficial to their company, both at conference and in the subsequent years.

For sponsorship opportunities, please contact admin@sbm.org.nz

Our gold partners and silver sponsors (see their details below) support the Association throughout the whole year as well as at Conference.
