GEO 2008 Sponsorship Opportunities

Since 1994, Bahrain has been the host of the very successful (and considered by many) to be the premier geoscience event in the Middle East. 2008 GEO promises to carry on that tradition of excellence.

We cordially offer your company the following wide range of sponsorship opportunities:

Your support of GEO will be highly visible to delegates and high-ranking officials attending the event in addition to being recognized by a wider audience in print and on the Web.

The theme of GEO 2008 is “Intergrated Geoscience – Technical, Business and People Solutions”. It is time to look at ways of increasing our success in all areas of our industry.

 

In addition to the recognition listed with the individual items below, as a sponsor your company will receive:

• Your company’s logo on the sponsorship page of the conference programme book if received before print deadline
• Your company’s logo on the GEO 2008 website
• Your company’s name on sponsorship banners, signage and posters at the event
• Recognition in the AAPG Explorer and EAGE First Break publications in May 2008

 

We have organized the listing of sponsorship opportunities in a fashion that allows you to easily focus on the initiatives with which your company wishes to be associated.
