SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Why You Should Be a Sponsor

It’s a privilege to run the electricity sector’s largest conference and to be able to provide our sector with unparalleled opportunities to learn, share and connect.  The EEA Annual Conference is the premier forum for our industry to tackle our shared challenge together, sharing learnings and innovations with each other and debating to reach alignment on issues.  This year’s theme is Powering Prosperity: He Puna Waiora.

Electricity underpins every part of today’s society.  It’s vital to Aotearoa’s economic growth and prosperity and supporting the everyday life and wellbeing of consumers and communities.  Our system plays a key role in businesses deciding to invest and operate here, and workers and families committing to making this our home.  We all want a flourishing economy and society, and we have a key role to play in this.

Sponsoring this year’s conference is an excellent opportunity to align with our theme and:

• Market your brand, raise your profile and promote your products and services to key stakeholders and engineering staff in the electricity supply industry
• Gain incredible exposure at the biggest event on the New Zealand electricity supply industry event calendar
• Enjoy extraordinary visibility in promotional material and at key conference functions
• Have your brand associated with leading edge technologies and solutions
• Achieve recognition as a key supporter of the EEA and its activities
• Receive priority status for technology exhibition stand selection if exhibiting also

We expect over 600 delegates, 140 Technology Exhibition stands, exhibitors and visitors to attend the two day conference including local and international representatives from all parts of the electricity supply industry sectors.  In 2024 and 2025 we had over 1200 people through our doors. Previous events have been attended by industry CEOs and senior managers; engineering and asset management staff; technical, safety and business development managers; system analysts and planners; field staff and supervisors; engineering students and academics from NZ universities; Government officials; consultants and contracting staff; standards writers and others.
