PCSGA’s Allied members are a valuable asset to the industry and the Tradeshow is a productive way to network with our Grower members. Allied members are given a platform to share their latest and greatest products and services offered to the shellfish industry. You might be surprised by what you learn!
Tradeshow Exhibitors (registered to date)
To support attendance, students can choose to have their registration, banquet dinner, accommodation (see below), and up to $100 for travel all paid for in full. This way, students can count on attending rather than having to wait to secure funds. What a deal!
The offer applies to students who are presenting as well as those who are just attending. Do note, however, that presenters are eligible to win a cash prize and free NSA membership.
In exchange for providing support to students, conference organizers will reach out to have students help out during the conference. It’s a small commitment, and a good networking opportunity!
Accommodation – organizers will reserve several rooms for students at the conference hotel. Students are expected to share rooms, which the conference organizers will help facilitate.
Please reach out to Jodie Toft (jodie@restorationfund.org) and Laura Spencer (lhs3@uw.edu) with questions about student support!
