Sponsorship Opportunities

We are excited to share our sponsorship opportunities for the 10th International Barcode of Life Conference. This conference is a key gathering for scientists, conservation practitioners, educators, and businesses working in the field of molecular biodiversity science—specifically DNA barcoding, metabarcoding, and eDNA research. The anticipated attendance is 500 people. This year’s theme, “Building on Barcodes: Impacting Science and Society” reflects iBOL’s commitment to maximizing its impact not only in the scientific realm but also in broader society.

As a sponsor of the iBOL conference, you will be uniquely positioned to increase brand and product awareness in the molecular biodiversity science community as leading scientists and practitioners will be present. We look forward to welcoming you to this important conference, which is being held in Southeast Asia for the first time.

International Barcode of Life

The International Barcode of Life Consortium (iBOL) is a global research partnership working to establish an Earth observation system that will discover species, reveal their interactions, and establish biodiversity baselines. iBOL is tracking ecosystems across the planet and exploring symbiomes—the distinct fungal, plant, and animal species associated with host organisms. iBOL’s goal is to complete this research and establish baseline data for science and society’s benefit.
