Sponsorship

Over the past decade, the success of the previous five Conjugate Margins Conferences is due to the synergy of its volunteers, delegates, and especially financial support from industry and government organization. We acknowledge the generous contributions in time and funds — and support for participation by their staff members — these organizations have provided in the past, and extend a sincere invitation to industry and others to help continue the success of these conferences.

Those interested in contributing to the success of Halifax 2018 are encouraged to contact Dr. Grant D. Wach (grant.wach@dal.ca) or David E. Brown (dbrown@cnsopb.ns.ca) for additional details.
