Welcome to Coast to Coast Conference 2014

You are invited to be part of Coastal Knowledge for Coastal Change, the National Coast to Coast Conference, 2014. The Conference will be held in Mandurah from 27-31 October 2014. We are very excited about this location and confident it will provide sponsors and exhibitors, as well as delegates, with a rewarding and memorable conference experience. The Conference Organising Committee is pleased to offer your organisation the opportunity to participate in Coast to Coast 2014 as a Conference Sponsor.

Sponsorship will expose your organisation to a wide ranging audience of coastal focussed stakeholders. This will promote your organisation and its services and demonstrate support for this highly-regarded national event. Sponsors are an important part of our conference. Not only is it an opportunity for you to showcase what you do, but your involvement will help us to provide an excellent, cost effective conference and increase the range of participants.

What is Coast to Coast?Coast to Coast is the Australian national coastal management conference, renowned for providing an excellent forum for all with an interest in coastal, estuarine and marine matters to meet and to share knowledge and experiences in the areas of management, science, policy, governance, advocacy and other related topics. In fact it has become the most important conference for bridging the divides between the various sectors and making a difference. It has been successfully held every two years since 1994 at venues in different states around Australia. Publicity for the conference will be widespread, through electronic and social media, newsletters, through the coastal community and as the time comes closer, through interviews on radio and in news media. This conference attracts a wide range of stakeholders from across Australia and internationally, creating a perfect environment to gain recognition for your organisation. The conference has a dedicated website ( www.promaco.com.au/coast2coast2014/) which will be updated regularly as the program develops.

Who will be attending?Traditionally, Coast to Coast conferences have attracted around 400 delegates, including managers and researchers from councils, universities, consulting companies, regional natural resource management organisations, community organisations and all levels of government.

This forum provides sponsors, exhibitors and delegates with opportunities to network and discuss environmental and coastal best practice with officials from the nation’s leading management and scientific authorities. Attendees will be able to participate in high-quality symposia and workshops that will enhance their ability to respond to environmental issues and generate sustainable outcomes for their organisation.
