1 SPATIAL ECOLOGY & CONSERVATION CONFERENCE University of Bristol, UK 13 th 15 th July 2015 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR COMPANY The Spatial Ecology & Conservation Conference 2015 (SEC 3) will see scientists and practitioners from around the world converging on the University of Bristol, UK. During three days, they will discuss and evaluate the latest advancements in spatial ecology, associated technologies, and how these can be applied to saving species and habitats from extinction. SEC 3 is the only event in the world where all players involved in this sector can network, learn about the latest research, discuss matters pertinent to the industry, and discover new products and innovative solutions. Who will attend the Conference? Given the enthusiastic response from delegates to SEC 1 and 2, it is expected that the number of delegates attending SEC 2015 will exceed 300, especially as the conference is being advertised to a database of >5,500 geospatial ecology and conservation professionals who work in these sectors. In 2011, over 200 delegates attended the first Spatial Ecology & Conservation Conference: 55% of these were working in the UK, 26% were based in European countries and the remaining 19% came from the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world. Some reactions from delegates at SEC 1 and 2: Thanks again for putting together, and inviting me, to a very useful, informative conference - hopefully will see you again in a couple of years. Allow me to congratulate you on a great, well-organized conference. Thank you for all your assistance with everything. I found it really helpful and got some good feedback from people for my work. I look forward to the next one. I also just wanted to thank you for a wonderfully organised conference and I hope it is something you are planning on continuing in the future.
