Sponsors & Exhibitors Opportunities

Invitation

On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are pleased to invite your organisation to participate as a sponsor or exhibitor at the 2026 Renal Society of Australasia (RSA) Conference. The 2026 conference will take place 17 – 19 June and will be delivered in-person at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, New Zealand.

The RSA Conference is the leading event for renal health professionals across Australia and New Zealand, bringing together a multidisciplinary community dedicated to improving kidney care. This event provides a forum to share knowledge, inspire innovation, and strengthen connections among professionals working in hospitals, community services, and rural and regional health facilities.

The conference is designed for nurses, social workers, dietitians, technicians, unit managers, transplant coordinators, and allied health professionals across all areas of renal care — including haemodialysis, transplantation, CKD, peritoneal dialysis, research, and education.

Providing opportunities for learning, collaboration, and professional renewal, the RSA Conference is created by and for renal health professionals who play a vital role in improving the lives of people with kidney disease.

Why Partner with the RSA Conference

Supporting the RSA Conference provides your organisation with unique and valuable benefits:

• Exposure to a qualified, relevant and influential audience before, during and after the event
• Direct networking opportunities to promote your organisation’s products and services to key decision-makers in renal healthcare
• Brand alignment with the leading multidisciplinary organisation dedicated to advancing kidney care
• Relationship building — consolidate existing industry connections and establish new ones

Your support plays an integral role in enabling the RSA to deliver a high-quality conference experience, foster collaboration, and continue advancing the care of people with kidney disease.

The following opportunities are designed to maximise your brand visibility and engagement with leaders in the renal sector. We invite you to review the range of opportunities available or discuss tailored options to best meet your organisation’s objectives and ensure maximum value from your involvement.
