All exhibitors will be listed in the final program for the meeting. To enhance your company's visibility at the meeting, please consider one of the following promotional opportunities:

• Co-host a Refreshment Break - Morning and afternoon refreshment breaks will take place in the Exhibit Hall. For $250, your company can be listed as a co-host for the break in the final program and on signage in the serving areas.
  
  
• Lanyards and Travel Mugs - To cut down on waste associated with paper cups and name tags, meeting participants will receive a ticket in their packets for a travel mug and a lanyard from an exhibitor of their choice. Participating exhibitors are requested to provide travel mugs and/or lanyards (o-ring attachment for pin-style name badge) with their company name and logo in lieu of other promotional or give-away items.

The Society for Conservation Biology is an international professional organization dedicated to promoting the scientific study of the phenomena that affect the maintenance, loss, and restoration of biological diversity. Exhibitors are asked to limit give-away items to useful and Earth-friendly products (e.g., small pads of recycled paper, pens/pencils, candy).

Exhibit fees for the show are $720 for a single booth, $920 for a double booth, and $320 for a non-profit/collegiate booth. Booths are 8' deep and 10' wide, and include one 8' skirted table, two chairs, company sign, and participation in SCB meeting activities. Any additional equipment or services for your booth can be ordered directly from the meeting facility using the enclosed Exhibitor Order Forms.
