Business program - Opportunities for Involvement
There are still ways to participate in our successful business program. They are:
1. Corporate sponsorship - become a "stakeholder"
A limited number of corporate sponsorship packages are still available. Benefits of corporate sponsorship include corporate hospitality in the VIP area of the pavilion, brand exposure and rights of association. For further information, please contact business.program@australianpavilion.com or 02 6261 2708.
The VIP facility is not for hire.
2. Joining a trade mission
A number of trade missions which include participation in a business program event at the Australian pavilion - such as those organised by Austrade or state and territory partners - may recruit participants. Recruitment for Austrade trade missions commenced in February 2010:
www.austrade.gov.au/shanghaiexpo2010.

3. Being otherwise invited to participate as a guest at an event
Each stakeholder will control its own guest list for an event.
This includes a small number of events organised by the Australia China Business Council, AustCham Shanghai, and the Australia China Council, which have formed cooperative arrangements with DFAT on Australia's expo participation.

Individual stakeholders welcome questions from industry peak bodies about their plans for involvement in the business program.
