2025 Western Division and Colorado-Wyoming AFS Annual Meeting Sponsors and Tradeshow

Tradeshow – Booths for vendors to showcase their equipment and services will be accessible throughout the entire meeting.  It is encouraged for attendees to visit the vendors during breaks and during the designated tradeshow on Tuesday afternoon.

Greetings,
We are excited to announce the upcoming 2025 annual meeting of the Western Division of the American Fisheries Society (AFS), which is being hosted by and with the Colorado/Wyoming Chapter of AFS. Our society is a nonprofit organization that promotes wise conservation and management of our aquatic natural resources. The Western Division of AFS is composed of over 3500 members and 10 chapters, and has representation in 12 western U.S. states, U.S. associated entities of the Pacific Ocean, the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Yukon Territory, Mexico, and many university-based student subunits.

The meeting will take place May 11 – 15, 2025 at the Westin Westminster in Westminster, CO. The purpose of this meeting is to exchange ideas and share technical advancements common to and of interest to Western Division AFS membership, which includes professionals from state, federal, academic, private, and non-profit organizations. This meeting also provides an opportunity for professional development of students and professionals through workshops, networking, and mentoring.
We are requesting financial sponsorship for our 2025 meeting. Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to market your organization and engage a wide network of fisheries professionals! Financial contributions will be used to defray meeting expenses, fund academic scholarships for students, fund travel scholarships for professionals and students to attend regional and national meetings, and assist those that need financial assistance to attend this 2025 annual meeting.

The Western Division of AFS does not come to the Colorado/Wyoming area often – the last time we hosted this meeting was in 2012 in Jackson, WY – so this presents a rare opportunity for typical sponsors of the Colorado/Wyoming Chapter AFS to reach twice as many people as our annual chapter meeting. If you are a typical sponsor of Western Division AFS meetings, we are excited to host you and hope you will consider marketing your organization to Colorado/Wyoming Chapter AFS members that do not have the opportunity to regularly attend Western Division AFS meetings. Regardless of your home location, we would love to feature your organization as a meeting sponsor or trade show participant!
