Conference 2026 – Sponsorship Opportunities

Victoria’s favourite solar conference returns in 2026 as we celebrate 40 years of installers, suppliers and industry partners. This installer-led event is built on real conversations, technical learning and genuine community connection. Sponsorships help keep the conference accessible and focused on the people who power Victoria’s solar industry.

In 2026, SEIA VIC celebrates 40 years of bringing Victoria’s solar industry together. This year’s conference is a relaxed mid-week gathering where installers, suppliers and long-time supporters can learn, reconnect and celebrate the people who built the industry. Hosted at RACV Cape Schanck, it blends practical sessions with real-world experience and plenty of time to socialise.

RACV Cape Schanck
Trent Jones Dr, Cape Schanck VIC 3939

19-21 May 2026 
Exhibitor bump-in: 19 May

 

RACV Cape Schanck is one of Victoria’s most stunning coastal venues, offering sweeping ocean views and a championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. It’s the perfect mix of world-class facilities, relaxation, and a memorable mid-week escape — whether you’re a serious golfer or just enjoy a casual round.

Sponsor Renewal Priority

All 2025 sponsors receive first right of refusal for their tier in 2026. Existing sponsors will be prioritised on a first-in, best-dressed basis. The sooner they confirm, the sooner their position is secured. Once renewal responses are received, any remaining spots will be released to new sponsors.​

Major Sponsor

Major Conference Sponsor – 1 position available

Investment $7,000

Platinum Sponsor

19 positions available

The Platinum tier provides high-value visibility and a strong presence across the SEIA VIC Conference. It’s ideal for businesses who want meaningful engagement with Victorian installers and industry partners — without the scale or commitments of Major.

Platinum Sponsors gain consistent exposure before, during and after the event, including physical presence at the conference, branding across key channels, and inclusion in all major event collateral.

Event Presence & Exposure

  • Standard 2m x 2m display space for both conference days (one table provided if required)
  • Sponsor logo displayed on the rolling screen during breaks
  • Promotional material included in delegate show bags

 

Extended Visibility

  • Ongoing sponsor listing on the SEIA VIC website
  • Social media promotion across SEIA VIC channels
  • Inclusion in SEIA VIC newsletters
  • Logo recognition throughout the Conference Program

 

Investment $2,250

Gold Sponsor

10 positions available

Gold provides suppliers with a light but meaningful presence at the event.

Exposure & Inclusion

  • Logo included on the rolling break screen
  • Logo included in the Conference Program
  • Promotional flyers or materials included in delegate bags

 

Visibility

  • Listed as a Gold Sponsor on the SEIA VIC website
  • Included in SEIA VIC newsletters as part of the sponsor roll
 
Investment: $1,000

Dinner Sponsor

1 position available

The SEIA VIC Conference Dinner is one of the most anticipated moments of the event – a relaxed evening where installers, suppliers and industry partners come together to connect, unwind and celebrate the year.

The Dinner Sponsor receives premium visibility and direct engagement with delegates throughout the night, with branding woven naturally into the atmosphere and conversations.

High-Impact, Exclusive Exposure

  • 10-minute company or product presentation during the dinner
  • Prominent banner placement on the main stage and throughout the dinner venue
  • Brochures or giveaways placed on tables for direct delegate engagement
  • Branded dinner trivia segment (up to 3 questions) for fun, memorable exposure


Extended Visibility

  • Priority listing on the SEIA VIC website
  • Promotion through SEIA VIC social channels
  • Inclusion in SEIA VIC newsletters


Investment $5,000

Welcome Drinks Sponsor

1 position available

The Welcome Drinks set the tone for the evening and give sponsors a relaxed, high-value opportunity to connect with delegates before the main dinner. This package offers targeted visibility and strong brand presence in a social setting where conversations naturally begin.


Targeted Exposure

  • 5-minute opportunity to welcome attendees and say a few words
  • Company banners displayed prominently in the Welcome Drinks area
  • Brochures or giveaways available for delegates as they arrive
  • Recognition as the Welcome Drinks Partner across SEIA VIC social channels


Investment $2,000

T-Shirt Sponsor

1 × position available

The SEIA VIC Conference T-Shirt is a collectable item that installers will look forward to each year – something they actually want to wear. Our goal is to create a fun, memorable design that captures the spirit of the Victorian installer community. We might even team up with a local artist! 

To make it special, we plan to collaborate with local Victorian artists to produce a unique design each year, turning the conference shirt into a talking point and a tradition.


Why This Sponsorship Stands Out

  • Exclusive, high-visibility placement (only one sponsor)
  • A lasting, wearable reminder of your brand long after the event
  • Highly visible across two full days — and beyond — as delegates wear the shirt on site
  • A creative, community-focused alternative to traditional sponsorship packages
  • Aligns your brand with installer pride, culture, and SEIA VIC’s 40-year legacy


Benefits

  • Logo placement on the official 2026 Conference T-Shirt
  • Priority recognition on the SEIA VIC website
  • Sponsor mention in SEIA VIC social media channels
  • Inclusion in SEIA VIC newsletters
  • Acknowledgment during the conference opening session


Investment $2,000

Nametags Sponsor

1 × position available

The Conference Nametag is one of the most visible items at SEIA VIC — worn by every delegate, sponsor, speaker, and guest throughout the entire event. This sponsorship positions your brand at the centre of connection, professionalism and first impressions. Each nametag will feature the SEIA VIC logo, event branding, and your company logo in a clear, prominent position.


Visibility & Impact

  • Your logo featured on every attendee’s nametag
  • High-frequency exposure throughout both days
  • Seen in photos, networking moments and media coverage
  • Strong association with professionalism and industry connection
  • Exclusive category — only one sponsor


Investment $1500
