Benefits
of Conference Support
Discover Solutions
The Coastal Society has organized one of the longest-running series
of coastal conferences that provide a forum for interdisciplinary
information exchange on coastal issues. Speakers debate different
sides of the issues in plenary sessions creating an awareness of
differing needs among coastal resource users, and opening the way
for new approaches to coastal issues. Management professionals share
differing strategies to addressing issues in concurrent sessions,
thus sparking new ideas to try. The TCS conference is the place
to listen, discuss, ask questions and think about the application
of this knowledge to your own work, and to the future of the coasts.
Plan to attend as a sponsor and participate in the discovery.
Connect
with Coastal Professionals
Approximately 400 participants are expected to attend the 2008 conference
including policy and decision-makers, state and federal coastal
and ocean resource managers, local planners, academics from a variety
of disciplines, business and industry, teachers, graduate students,
coastal engineers and other consultants. Coastal connections, transcending
geographic boundaries and across professions, are made at conferences
and kept long after, enriching the information on which decisions
about coastal resources are made. Make your own connections by attending
as a conference sponsor.
Promote
Your Organization's Role in Coastal Issues
The Coastal Society is interested in partnering with sponsors that
have an interest in coastal issues whether it results from work
or play, and that are committed to addressing those issues by fostering
dialogue, forging partnerships and promoting communication and education
all interested in coastal resources. Bring your organization to
the center of the dialogue, and communicate your expertise to conference
participants as a sponsor.
Sponsor
Benefits
Sponsors will have ample opportunity to meet and mingle informally
with conference attendees at all educational sessions, lunches and
receptions. Early in the conference members of the TCS Board of
Directors will be sure to introduce themselves and help you make
connections. Formal recognition will be given to sponsors in all
conference materials including the registration packet, final program
and the conference proceedings. Lists of sponsors will be displayed
on site during the conference. Sponsors of $1,000 or above will
receive an exhibit space in the area where all session breaks will
be held.
Sponsor
Opportunities
The caliber of these stimulating conferences cannot be produced
without conference sponsorships. Unrestricted funds as charitable
donations to this 501 (c) (3) charitable organization have the greatest
benefit to both The Coastal Society and the sponsor. However, if
individual corporate or government agency giving restrictions apply,
sponsorships will be acknowledged as support for the conference
within the range of permissible activities. To get an indication
of the types of conference activities and their associated costs,
please see the list entitled Sponsor
Opportunities.
If you are interested in becoming a conference sponsor, please contact
the TCS Executive Director, Ms. Judy Tucker, by telephone at 757-565-0999
or by e-mail at coastalsoc@aol.com.
Sponsorship arrangements are subject to review by the TCS board
of Directors.
