Sponsorship & Exhibitor Opportunities

Your support for NAC26 is an opportunity to participate in this critical conversation and connect with scientists and practitioners who are shaping the future of land stewardship and ecological recovery. In addition, your financial support will help to make this event more accessible to practitioners who are already working with strapped budgets and insufficient resources. Together, we can ensure that the lessons learned here can make a difference elsewhere and strengthen the resilience of natural areas across North America.

Your sponsorship will:

  • Expand opportunities for participation by removing financial barriers due to limited organizational budgets.
  • Contribute to the resiliency of natural areas and the protection of vital ecosystems
  • Support practitioners who care for nature in order to sustain life on earth
  • Play a role in protecting ecologically significant landscapes for future generations
