Sponsorship and Exhibit Opportunities Abound at "Making a Great Lake 
Superior" Conference

Companies, agencies, and organizations are invited to exhibit at or 
help sponsor the "Making a Great Lake Superior 2007" conference, held 
in Duluth, Minn., from October 29 to 31, 2007. This international 
conference will focus on using research, education, and resource 
management approaches to address pressing issues facing the Lake 
Superior ecosystem, including:
- climate change,
- aquatic invasive species,
- and water levels.

Over 300 residents, educators, resource managers, and researchers from 
around Lake Superior are expected to attend this meeting at the Duluth 
Entertainment and Convention Center. The two-and-a-half-day event will 
include a mixture of:
- plenary presentations,
- contributed sessions,
- facilitated working sessions,
- exhibits,
- posters,
- evening socials,
- pre-conference community gatherings, and
- post-conference field trips.

Environmental stewardship is built into the conference organization, 
which will help ensure the event is carbon-neutral, provides locally 
grown food to the extent possible, and minimizes waste production.

Exhibitor registration costs $350 and includes one full conference 
registration and exhibit space in a room adjacent to the conference 
registration area. The exhibit room will be the location of all 
refreshment breaks, the poster session, and reception. For details, 
visit: www.seagrant.umn.edu/superior2007/registration/ or call 
Minnesota Sea Grant at (218) 726-8106.

Sponsorship is offered at a variety of funding levels and venues, 
starting at $500. Sponsorship funds can also be used for scholarships 
and travel awards that will help students, teachers, and volunteer 
organization members attend the conference. For more details, visit: 
www.seagrant.umn.edu/superior2007/sponsor/ or call Minnesota Sea Grant 
at (218) 726-8106.
