Sponsor/Exhibit
Further your reach. Deepen your experience.
Become an SEJ Sponsor.
SEJ’s Annual Conferences attract 1,000 attendees — mostly journalists reporting on energy, climate change, the environment and health — for intensive learning, immersive tours, networking and professional development. With SEJ’s Virtual Conference in September 2020 AND the in-person conference in Boise next June 2021, your reach could be doubled: Two conferences for a single sponsorship.
By helping us make it affordable for member journalists and students, your support furthers SEJ’s mission to strengthen the quality, reach and viability of journalism across all media to advance public understanding of environmental issues.
To arrange your sponsorship, contact SEJ’s Executive Director, Meaghan Parker, at mparker@sej.org or (202) 558-2033.
SEJ conferences are designed by journalists for journalists. Volunteer co-chairs work with SEJ conference staff to select keynote speakers, plenary sessions and moderated panels proposed by environmental journalists. Participation as a speaker, moderator, tour or beat dinner leader is the editorial decision of session organizers.
