Exhibiting and advertising
During the Explore symposium, our annual expedition and field research planning weekend, organisations have the opportunity to exhibit and advertise their products to delegates.
To complement Explore's extensive programme of talks and workshops, a small number of key organisations are invited to exhibit, and/or advertise in the delegates’ notes.
Delegates from previous years have commented on how much they have gained from being able to discuss their needs with exhibitors’ expert staff, seeing the products first-hand or even being given a demonstration of how the equipment and/or services can best be applied to their expedition.
Showcase your product and services
The event is a unique opportunity for organisations to showcase their products and services to individuals involved in all aspects of expeditions, field research and adventure travel, and support this exciting aspect of the Society’s work.
The weekend regularly attracts over 250 delegates and over 100 leading field scientists and explorers to the Society’s headquarters in London. Explore delegates include both professional organisers of expeditions and research programmes, as well as expedition leaders from the university, school, military, media and adventure communities.
