If you are an organization, business, or individual that aligns with the NMEA mission and values, we cordially invite you to join us as an exhibitor at the 2023 National Marine Educators Association conference, which will be held at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington from July 23-27, 2023. 

NMEA is a national, member-based organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and protection of our freshwater and marine ecosystems. During the week of the conference, you will be joined by hundreds of formal and informal educators, research scientists, and state and federal agency representatives to exchange information and build connections that may inspire new ideas for working towards resiliency.

The exhibit space will be in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room. Exhibit hours are listed below, and the conference schedule is available here. Please note that while the exhibit space will be open all day, traffic will be lighter during plenary and concurrent sessions. We will make every effort to encourage conference attendees to visit the exhibits whenever they can.
