Sponsorship and Exhibitions

On behalf of the Organising Committee for the 31st Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) of the Australian Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation Association (ACRA), it gives us great pleasure in extending to you the opportunity to join us as a valued sponsor for the ACRA 2022 ASM. This meeting will be held at the Sea World Resort and Conference Centre, Sea World Drive, Main Beach Queensland from Monday 8th to Wednesday 10th August 2022.

For over 30 years ACRA has been the peak national body for representing health professionals involved in cardiovascular health care and secondary prevention. Today we comprise of nearly 500 members (and growing) across the nation. ACRA’s mission is to provide support and advocacy for multidisciplinary health professionals to deliver evidence-based best practice across the continuum of cardiovascular care. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are dedicated to supporting research and continuing professional development. ACRA has authored the national professional core components for cardiac rehabilitation, been a major contributor to Australian cardiovascular guidelines and actively participates in national committees in cardiovascular disease management.

The Scientific Committee is working on an innovative program with the emphasis on “People, Purpose & Opportunity.” This theme will reflect on the challenges that have impacted cardiovascular health over recent times as we explore how COVID 19 created barriers for the early treatment of cardiovascular disease and the ongoing management of co-morbidities. We will delve into how we have adapted to these challenges and barriers, to work towards managing and improving heart health, while investigating and embracing the role of innovative technologies in supporting our patients to recover and to thrive. The 2022 ASM will host several internationally and showcase nationally renowned guest speakers, along with a program which will showcase the innovative research being conducted in Australia. The ASM is the
Association’s major forum for the exchange of ideas and for discussion around clinical and research issues, including the latest developments in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

This prospectus outlines the exciting sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available to you to promote
your company and increase its profile to a diverse group of over 200 health professionals working in cardiovascular care. There will be a wide range of packages available to you to assist in the promotion of your business. The trade exhibition will be located on the “Veranda” the same area where delegates will congregate for morning, afternoon teas and lunches each day and where our poster display will be located. Social functions at the meeting include a Welcome Reception on Monday 8th August at the Sunset Deck and the ASM Gala Event at the SeaWorld Resort on the evening of Tuesday 9th August 2022. The meeting will be highly interactive, making extensive use of social media prior, during and after the event.

This is a wonderful opportunity to be involved in this exciting meeting and we look forward to welcoming and
working with you as a valued partner of ACRA 2022 in sunny Queensland.
