Each year we host our flagship event, the NHVic Conference.

The conference brings together Neighbourhood House managers, staff and committee members, and other relevant stakeholders in the community services sector, to be inspired, learn something new, network and celebrate the life-changing work of our Houses.

​Attendees are treated to a diverse program including keynotes and presentations, breakout workshops, lightning talks, awards and a themed gala dinner. We also hold a market stall where organisations can engage with attendees.

Why sponsor our conference?

1. Enhance brand perception: Through association with the NHVic Conference, your organisation will be perceived as socially conscious, valuing community inclusiveness, diversity and empowerment.

2. The conference is highly reputable: Your organisation will be associated with an event highly regarded amongst Victoria’s community development sector. The 2023 conference was a sell-out and highly received. Feedback included:

“I found the whole experience informative, and everyone was friendly and approachable from the NHVic staff and committee members to the keynote speakers and the attendees.” 

“A great conference, I came back with new ideas and some new connections and made good use of the marketplace as well.” 

"First Conference after 3 years and it did not disappoint. The role of a Manager can be challenging and tiring and these conferences are so important to 'fill our own cups', so we can continue to be fully functional and looking after ourselves."

3. A captive and motivated audience: No one is forced to attend our conference! Attendees are passionate about the work they do, excited to be there, and keen to learn and discover new opportunities. This means your brand won’t fall on deaf ears.

4. High brand visibility: You’ll reach anywhere around 350+ delegates from Neighbourhood Houses and Networks, State Government employees and other relevant stakeholders right across Victoria's community services sector, and thousands more through pre-conference promotions.
