Sponsorship package
What’s in it for sponsors?
Before the Congress
Early confirmation of your interest and support for the Congress will ensure a high level of exposure. An extensive promotional campaign including advertisements, direct mail campaigns, email updates and social media exposure is being implemented, and the opportunity exists for your organization and/or company to be represented as a bronze to platinum sponsor of the Congress in advance of the actual event. Where appropriate, sponsor logos will be used in communications materials.
During the Congress
The event will bring together key stakeholders across many disciplines and sectors to discuss key issues facing Arctic biodiversity. Sponsorship opportunities promote exposure of organizations amongst targeted scientific, policy and Indigenous attendants and an opportunity to exhibit information during the Congress. Various sponsored events and items will be clearly labelled with logos and recognition of sponsors. Sponsor representatives also have the opportunity while attending the Congress to network and engage with key individuals and organizations active in issues of Arctic biodiversity, conservation, governance and management.
After the Congress
Sponsors will have built recognition amongst Congress attendants and will continue to receive information from CAFF on both the Congress outcomes and future CAFF activities and projects. Sponsorship of the Congress will allow companies to engage in the work of CAFF, including discussions on biodiversity guidelines, biodiversity targets, goals, indicators and monitoring. The Congress is part of Arctic Council’s Actions for Arctic Biodiversity 2013-2021: implementing the recommendations of the Arctic Biodiversity Assessment, and will be influential in shaping the future of sustainable use and conservation of Arctic biodiversity.
