Our Sponsors

The ICMB organizers would like to express their gratitude to all sponsors and partners for their generous support of the conference.

ICMB operates on a not-for-profit basis under the Society for the Study of Marine Bioinvasions, with conference organization and administration managed solely by volunteer members of the Scientific Steering and Local Organizing Committees. We rely heavily on contributions from stakeholder organizations to offset conference costs. Sponsoring ICMB offers many benefits — send us an email or reach out to anyone on the Scientific Steering Committee if you're interested in joining this distinguished group.

Be enchanted by the exotic fauna, including peacocks, flamingos and the majestic koi that inhabit the lakes and ponds.
Associação de Coleções

If it is a curiosity that feeds the spirit and moves the collector, there is no doubt that what is a collector, what is chosen as the object of the will and passion of the collector, cannot be divorced from the expectations of a given era, or from what others expect of us. In a way, the collector searches for and gathers works that others would also like to find and gather. The collector actually makes other people's dreams come true. It is this relationship between the individual's dream and the dream of others that determines the destiny of any collection and guarantees a place in the community.
