Sponsoring ISDSC7
The network of deep-sea scientists, explorers and entrepreneurs is highly integrated internationally. This event is a unique opportunity to create new links within this growing community. Advertisement opportunities and commercial exhibits will therefore have national and international reach.
Funds from sponsors and commercial exhibits will be used to support attendance of participants in need, and reduce the costs of social events such as the welcome cocktail and the banquet. We offer four packages to potential sponsors:
Swiftia sponsor
COP$ 6’000,000,00 (~USD$ 2,000; ~€1,750)
Madrepora sponsor
COP$16’000,000,00 (~USD$ 5,300; ~€4,650)
