We invite you to be part of AMSA2013, the conference that will celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA). AMSA is the premiere annual Australian marine science conference and the 2013 meeting will be held at Jupiters Gold Coast from 7 – 11 July 2013. The Golden Jubilee of AMSA represents a signifi cant milestone for the Australian marine science community and the conference will be a fantastic celebration of the community’s achievements over the past 50 years.
AMSA annual conferences attract international and national delegates including academics, government and industry scientists, managers and policy-makers and research students. AMSA is a multi-disciplinary society and topics covered at the conferences embrace all aspects of marine science, including ecology, oceanography, biogeochemistry, molecular biology, policy, management, science communication – and more. The theme for AMSA2013 is Shaping the Future and aims to assess the current state of knowledge and explore how well equipped we are with knowledge and human and technical capabilities to address the future needs of marine science in Australia.
The Conference Organising Committee is excited to offer your organisation the opportunity to participate in the Golden Jubilee celebrations at AMSA2013 as a Conference Sponsor. Sponsorship of AMSA2013 will expose your organisation to a diverse audience of stakeholders, will demonstrate your support for this highly-regarded national event and, most importantly, promote your organisation and its products and services.
Sponsors play a vital role in our conference. Not only will sponsorship enable you to showcase what you do, but your involvement will help us to provide an excellent and cost effective conference and increase the range of participants.
How will sponsorship benefi t your organisation?
An opportunity to network with a diverse audience of stakeholders
AMSA conferences attract around 400 delegates, including managers and researchers from councils, universities, industry, consulting companies, natural resource management organisations, community organisations and all levels of government. This forum provides sponsors and exhibitors with the opportunity to showcase their organisation’s services and to network with offi cials from the nation’s leading marine management and scientifi c organisations.
