The Power of Sponsors: Why Our Admin Events Happen
By Uncategorised
For admin professionals, events aren’t “nice to have”, they’re the engine room for growth and connection. They’re where we learn about the latest tools, swap hard-won tactics, meet future collaborators, build our networks, and fill our tanks with the confidence to lead. But here’s the truth: these moments of connection and professional development don’t happen without partners who believe in our profession and back it.
The AIOP NSW Relaunch: Made Possible by The Point Group
On Tuesday, 30 September at The Panorama Bar in The International Hotel, we relit the spark for Australian Institute of Office Professionals (AIOP) NSW Division, and the room absolutely buzzed. Thaks to the generous partnership of The Point Group, who came alongside a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organisation to make this relaunch event successful. Without sponsors and partners like The Point Group, events like this simply wouldn’t happen. Thank you for standing with the Sydney admin community and helping us create a space where 200+ admins could reconnect, learn, and celebrate our profession. Also a huge thank you to Sam Cox of Samantha Cox International, for making the effort to join us for the event, chat to everyone in the room, and have a short grilling in a mini Q&A. We truly appreciate you joining us and can’t wait to have the more in-depth sessions with you in 2026.
BUT FIRST…the Admin Avenues Conference!
 
Looking Ahead: Admin Avenues Conference — Monday, 20 October
We’re days away from our inaugural Admin Avenues Conference, and it exists because of partners who genuinely care about the Australian admin profession. To each of you below: thank you. You’re powering a day designed to upskill admins, spark new opportunities, and move our industry forward.
With heartfelt thanks to:
  • InterContinental Hotel Double Bay – for hosting us in style and comfort. Also for hosting our post event drinks and canapes. Such a special touch for us to be able to connect after a day of learning.
  • GroupTogether – for fuelling us with coffee all day and giving us a beautiful way to thank our speakers.
  • Capstone Recruitment – for your creating a space for admins to ask career questions and gain tips, tricks, and market insights.
  • Microsoft – for sharing your brilliant speakers and thought leadership.
  • Madebox – for your incredible, ethical gifts that showcase Aussie small businesses.
  • GIFTA Benefits — for sponsoring our podcast and backing admin voices all year round.
  • The Conference Shop – for helping us secure the perfect venue for our inaugural conference and awards night and making it such an enjoyable experience.
  • Circolo Software – for making planning this event through your event software so much easier! This has been a game changer for these events.
  • Vistaprint – for our tote bags, notebooks and pens, and the media wall that we can capture special moments with throughout the day.
  • Arnott’s – for that essential 3pm treat when we all need a lift.
  • Swag N Send – for the thoughtful and practical gift you provided.
Without these companies, we wouldn’t be able to host this kind of events. So please support the companies who support you – visit their stands, connect with them on LinkedIn, try their products, and tell your networks why they matter to our community.
