Sponsorships and Funding

The Heartland Institute is prepared to underwrite the total cost of the program, though it is still seeking donations from individuals and foundations earmarked for this event. No funds from energy companies will be used to finance the event.

Conference sponsors receive the following benefits:

• input into the program regarding speakers and panel topics

• 10 free “full package” registrations--air fare, hotel, and free admission--for 10 people, ideally scientists, economists, or important players in the climate change debate who are prepared to speak on panels

• 20 free admission passes

• logo and organization info on all promotional material produced, including advertising prior to the event and exhibiting space at the event

Conference sponsors are asked to do the following:

• place a link on the homepage of their Web sites to this site

• send two or three emails to their membership/donor lists promoting the event

• describe the event in a newsletter or online essay

• get 30 people to attend the event as their guests

Conference sponsors are being recruited to help develop the program, recruit speakers, and maximize attendance by people in the targeted audiences. University-affiliated organizations, business groups, "think tanks," and advocacy groups are encouraged to contact James Taylor at taylor@heartland.org for information about joining the conference organizing committee.
