Sponsorship Opportunities

The Wildlife Society Annual Conference provides unparalleled opportunities for information sharing, discussion, professional development, and networking to wildlife professionals in North America. In Snowbird we expect more than 1,500 attendees from federal, state, and provincial agencies as well as from universities, natural-resources consulting companies, and conservation organizations.

Conducting the TWS Annual Conference takes substantial human and financial resources, so please consider making a donation to support the effort. Cash donations of any amount will be greatly appreciated. We also welcome donations of merchandise suitable for a silent auction.
