Australia Africa Forum
Partnership prospectus · 2027

300 People. Seven Partners.

You already know how most sponsorship goes. You pay, your logo goes up, and in a month no one can tell you what it did. This prospectus is about something else: being one of the few organisations that a new institution is built around.

01

You are part of the founding story.

Partners are named in the Founding Register and in the first Outcomes report. A first Forum only happens once.
02

You meet the room first.

One week before the day, you see which delegates have chosen to be found, and you choose your introductions before anyone else.
03

You shape what comes next.

Principal and Stream Partners sit on the program committee, and help decide what the 2028 Forum is about.

Who is in the room.

300 delegates by registration and invitation. This is the mix we are building towards.
Industry and investors 35%
Government and diplomatic 20%
Education and research 20%
Community and diaspora 15%
Students and young professionals 10%
