Thank you to all our ASB Sponsors.
We could not do it without your continued support

The Association of Southeastern Biologists is dedicated to providing high-quality opportunities for biologists to present their work, network with peers, and develop professionally. Our Annual Meeting is a crucial step in the STEM-Student Pipeline giving many upcoming biologists, who will proceed to advanced degrees and careers in academia and industry, their first experience presenting science. It provides a friendly space to receive feedback, learn about job opportunities, and meet experts in the field. We would love to have you as part of it!

​Patron membership is for individuals who choose to support the society beyond annual meeting registration costs.  Patron membership includes a one-year membership, one annual meeting registration, and two tickets to each of the three evening events at the annual meeting. Visit our Membership Page to learn more. 

Sponsor Research and Travel

You can support ASB's mission directly by sponsoring scientific research through our ASB GRANT or help a student present their work by sponsoring one of our SUPPORT AWARDS. Students around the region are doing great science, but many do not have the means to register for the meeting or pay for travel and accommodations.  $20 could pay for a student to receive the benefits of membership, like registration discounts. $150 would pay for a student's registration. Any amount helps. You can specify your intentions here or CONTACT US.

Donate Items to the Silent Auction

The silent auction is an important fundraiser for the Enrichment Fund which provides support to help members attend the meeting. Please bring items you think might be of interest to attendees of our meeting. Items do not have to be related to the biological sciences, but this is a guaranteed shared interest among attendees. The items will be displayed in the Exhibit Hall during the meeting where anyone can place a bid. Bids close the last day of presentations, then the highest bidder pays for the item at the ASB booth and takes it home. Plan ahead and set aside items for the auction throughout the year, but don’t forget to bring them to the meeting!

Sponsor an Event at the Annual Meeting

Coffee Break - Single Sponsor ($2500)
Everyone loves a coffee break!  There are four opportunities to sponsor a coffee break: two on each presentation day. These events will be held in the Exhibit Hall where everyone gathers for posters and other events.

We have three non-presentation events that provide attendees a chance to sit back and relax, meet important people in the field, honor excellent work, and enjoy the meeting: The Welcome Plenary and Reception, Social, and Awards Banquet. These events are a great draw for attendees because they allow us to experience scientists beyond the science. Get more people into science by helping us maintain high-quality speakers, exciting off-site venues, and excellent food and beverage.
