LACA 2024: Seeking Partners
LACA 2024 is looking for partner organizations to organize a successful conference. Becoming a sponsor will provide exposure for your organization, demonstrate your commitment to conservation efforts in the region, and enhance your visibility among influential leaders and decision-makers. Organizations supporting LACA 2024 also help defray the costs of the meeting and provide support for an outstanding scientific society and community of practitioners.
Benefits to Your Organization
LACA 2024 provides your organization with convenient and impactful opportunities to gain visibility among conservation professionals. Sponsoring or advertising during the Congress offers unique benefits, allowing you to precisely target the conference audience and effectively reach professionals with your message through conference mailings, the website and at the conference and more.
Benefits to students and members of traditionally excluded and underrepresented groups in conservation
Your support enables travel assistance for students attending LACA 2024, facilitating networking with the conservation community, potential research supervisors, and employment opportunities. Students can enhance their communication and presentation skills through a student awards competition, with modest awards sponsored by your support.
Additionally, your support provides registration and travel assistance for attendees from traditionally excluded and underrepresented groups in conservation. LACA aims to host an inclusive and equitable event that fosters career and research advancement and collaboration for the entire conservation community. By minimizing financial barriers to attendance, sponsorship support plays a vital role in creating a significant impact.
Benefits to the Conservation Community
Your support will connect people from around the continent, who may otherwise never get a chance to network with their peers, by ensuring that conservation practitioners can attend LACA 2024.

Exhibitor Information
To have space held for you in the exhibit area, a 50% deposit must be paid at the time of registration. Full payment is due by March 1, 2024. Space fees include basic registration for one company representative and one 50% discounted representative, who will be working in the space during the conference. In addition to the standard space package, organizations requiring badges in excess of their allotment must pay the regular registration fee for each additional person. Activities requiring an additional fee beyond basic registration, such as field trips and short courses, may be purchased separately when registration opens. Each exhibiting firm is responsible for its equipment and should have an attendant in the space during hours that the exhibit area is open to the public. It is recommended that exhibitors prioritize attendance at their space during breaks and passing times to maximize visibility and engagement with participants at the conference. Exhibit representatives must wear the official conference badge at all times while in the exhibit area.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation before March 1, 2024 obligates the Exhibitor to 50% of the total space cost, and cancellation after March 1, 2024 obligates the Exhibitor to full payment of the space fee. Refunds will not be made after space has been assigned and paid for unless the space can be reassigned. Any space not claimed and occupied by 12:00 p.m. local time on June 24, 2022 may be reassigned to another exhibitor without further notice to the originally scheduled occupant, and all fees forfeited.
Security
SCB does not maintain insurance covering Exhibitors’ property. Protection of Exhibitors’ property shall at all times remain the responsibility of the Exhibitor. We do not anticipate traffic during non-show hours, but security is not guaranteed. Insurance is to be arranged by Exhibitors at their own cost.
Exhibit Description
Exhibitors are requested to submit a 50-word typed description of their exhibit. The description must be received no later than March 15, 2024, so it may be included in the Official Meeting Program.
Space Assignments
Exhibitors will have the opportunity to select a space location in the designated area once registration is open. The space will be assigned in the order in which exhibitor registrations are received. A confirmation of the location of your space will be sent to you as soon as possible. If none of your choices are available, we will contact you to discuss a new space assignment.
