Sponsorship Opportunities

We invite you to join nearly 1,000 delegates from around the world to sponsor, exhibit and advertise at the most important global meeting for marine conservation professionals and students.

Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) Marine Section meetings are an international forum for addressing conservation challenges. The International Marine Conservation Congress is the global gathering spot for presenting and discussing new research and developments in marine conservation science and practice. Most importantly, SCB Marine meetings connect marine conservation professionals and serve as the premier networking opportunity for anyone interested in marine and coastal research and conservation. (Please view the Sponsors & Exhibitors page for the IMCC Sponsorship Policy.)

IMCC offers numerous sponsorship types and levels. Read below to find the sponsorship that's right for you. In addition to the general sponsorship categories below, there are opportunities for event sponsorships, in-kind sponsorships and more found in the prospectus.

For questions about sponsorships, exhibiting or advertising, please contact IMCC4 Meeting Manager Lori Strong or IMCC4 Fundraising Chair Natalie Richárd.
