The Hawaiʻi Conservation Alliance Foundation (Alliance Foundation) is excited to offer multiple sponsorship opportunities for the 2019 Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference. The conference is attended by over 1,200 conservation professionals from across the Hawaiian archipelago and features cutting edge research, as well as innovative tools and approaches for addressing critical island conservation needs. All sponsors will be featured on our program app which will be the primary access point to the conference schedule, presentation abstracts, and information about all special events. Additionally, the exhibitor hall will feature a full sized screen where sponsor information and logo will be interspersed with video and photo content highlighting conference content and key conservation issues. All sponsors are recognized on our website and in our opening remarks at the conference. Additionally, all sponsors are offered an exhibit table and 2 full registrations.

The Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference strives to minimize environmental impact of the conference; one way is to reduce printed paper materials. By utilizing electronic posters, we have reduced printed content and are utilizing technology to provide a richer and more engaging presentation. Poster sponsor logo will appear at the entrance and all signage for the poster session room. Additionally, sponsor’s logo will be incorporated into the home screen for the poster machines and the poster website which will be freely accessible to the general public for at least 12 months.
