Sponsorship Opportunities

We hope you will consider sponsoring the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Western Section of The Wildlife Society

Sponsors are key partners for TWS-WS and we greatly appreciate your support.  Your sponsorship helps us reduce meeting registration fees for our attendees plus you also help fund subsidies for students and early career professionals.  We thank you in advance for your consideration, and support of wildlife stewardship!

  • Sponsorship and Exhibitor requests must be received by December 18, 2020.  Please send logo, contact information and a few sentences describing your company and product as soon as possible to projectmanager@tws-west.org.  We’ll get your information posted immediately on our website exhibitor list.
  • As in previous years, exhibitors will be asked and encouraged to donate goods or services to our silent auction. This is optional and agreement to do so will not reduce the cost.  Let us know if you have something to donate – thank you!
  • Exhibitors will setup their own Virtual Booths using the Whova App – we’ll mail the Whova link on December 19th so you can start building your virtual booth.  We encourage to make your booth as visual as possible – featuring pictures, logos, videos, livestreams, coupons, giveaways and raffles —  to make your brand really stand out.   
  • Please send logo files and ads as hi-res files that are formatted high-quality for print.  Our page sizes after margins will be 7″ x 9.5″.  PDF or JPG files work well, but we’re flexible.  Ads are due by January 5th, 2021.
  • The mailing to pre-registered attendees will go out in early January, and all logos & materials for that mailing should be received by December 18, 2020.  (Estimate 600 copies)
  • Workshop Recording – please send by January 15th so it can be ready to be viewed as soon as Whova goes live.

Thank you for your consideration and we hope to “see” you at the 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting! You may sign up to become a Sponsor or Exhibitor on our online registration form or by contacting our Meeting Planner at the email address below. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
