Nursing but not
as you know it
Welcome
Thank you for indicating your interest in attending the National Nursing Informatics Conference (NNIC) as an Exhibitor or Sponsor.
The conference will be held in Christchurch at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand in Wigram.
The theme is NURSING BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT: Informatics for clinical change, health & wellbeing.
Nursing practice continually evolves and working together will enable us to further integrate information technology into nursing education and practice. We plan to open and extend dialogue for all nursing areas. Nurses are aware of the issues facing the health system and of current and future technological advances that may be developed to assist the work of nursing. The conference will seek to provide information, education and innovative solutions to these issues.
Sponsorship funds are a vital component in any conference. It allows registration fees to be set at a level that encourages attendance and assists in providing a truly memorable event. It is my aim to work closely with sponsors and exhibitors to deliver as successful conference to complement their marketing programme.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss ways in which you can gain further profile through sponsor or exhibitor.
Yours sincerely Sheree
