Sponsorship Opportunity

You are invited to participate in the National 2018

Soil Science Conference as a sponsor and/or

exhibitor. Over 350 delegates from throughout

Australia are expected to attend, including

researchers, educationists, advisors, extension

agents, land managers and policy makers from

national, state and local government, universities

and the private sector.

The theme of the 2018 conference is

“Achieving sustainable soil management – Soil,

the key to the past, present, and future.”

Sponsors will be able to take the opportunity to:

• Engage with a relevant and influential audience

before, during and after the event.

• Strengthen industry, research and practitioner

networks

• Promote your organisation’s products and

services directly to practitioners and key decision

makers.

• Calibrate your business ideas with latest soil

discipline findings

In addition to traditional conference style

presentation of science findings, workshops and

refresher sessions will be developed to provide

synthesized knowledge to a broader range of

practitioners. These may be particularly interesting to

CPSS training and PhD’s preparing for the job

market. Potential themes include:

• Soil: a key to global food security

• Soil and the yield gap

• Soil knowledge for other professions

• Teaching soils to 21st century scientists

• Soil: A vital component of environmental services
