Conference sponsors

Sponsorship

You are invited to be a sponsor of the Australian Geography Teachers Association (AGTA) bi-annual conference in January 2011

The four day event is to be held at Scotch College in Adelaide between January 10th-13th 2011. Australasian Geography teachers and academics will be invited to the conference to participate in a stimulating education program of presentations, hands on workshops and field trips. The conference in 2011 is particularly opportune considering that 2011 is the preparation year for the new National Geography Curriculum, which is due for implementation in 2012. We anticipate an unprecedented attendance at the conference in response to the need for professional learning as a result of the requirements of the new K-12 National Geography Curriculum.

The conference organisers are offering geography/spatial industry related industries very affordable sponsorship packages. We are keen to attract as many corporate sponsors as possible so that the teachers attending are provided with a wide range of resources and products for their geography classes.
