The Sponsorship Program gives companies an opportunity to participate directly in the 28th Annual UW-River Falls Food Microbiology Symposium and Rapid and Automated Methods Workshop. The Sponsorship Program is designed to provide a continuing education opportunity for food industry professionals, government regulators and others interested in food and water microbiology and methods for detection, quantification, and characterization of pathogens, spoilage organisms, and toxins.

The Sponsorship Program provides an excellent opportunity for companies to showcase the latest technology in the detection, isolation and characterization of foodborne microorganisms and their toxins. Attendance at last year's symposium was the highest ever and included a diverse group of professionals from the food processing industry, regulatory agencies, and academia, including several international participants. We hope to attract even more attendees this year. The program is designed to provide an opportunity for company representatives to interact with the participants in a workshop atmosphere.

In the past, contributions from companies helped defray the expenses for speakers, visiting fellows, and hospitality, etc. I would like to invite organizations to support this proven Sponsorship Program by participating as a Contributing Sponsor (minimum contribution $600). Each Contributing Sponsor will be recognized at the conference and invited to participate in the program. Contributing Sponsors may choose to make a 15 minute presentation on their instrumentation or services, demonstrate a test or instrument at the workshop, and/or prepare a technical poster on an application involving the company's products. Company literature will also be included in our conference manual. Presentation and workshop times are limited so we recommend reserving a slot as early as possible.

If interested please view the Sponsorship Letter of Invitation.
