Why Become a Sponsor?

Zach Sealy, Sponsor Chairperson
Become Recognized in the Southeast Analytical Community.
No other meeting occurs annually in Atlanta that attracts the regional base from the Southeast for analytical science than AOAC Southern Section. Members from Private, State, and Federal Labs come from a 12 state area to learn new techniques from other colleagues, to present their own techniques, and to learn new technologies from manufacturers and suppliers.
Meet your Prospective Customers in this 2-Day Venue.
As an exhibitor, where else can you go to make new acquaintances and see hundreds of regular customers and new prospects in a two day period? Many customers are difficult to access outside of this meeting.
The Section Depends on Your Support!
The largest part of the funding for the banquet and ballroom facilities for meetings are provided by sponsors. The Section has existed for over 30 years partly as a result of your continued support as a completely non-profit volunteer-only organization.
