The 2019 Bioremediation  Symposium is organized and presented by Battelle (505 King Ave., Columbus, OH  43201). By completing and submitting the information below, the individual  submitting this agreement verifies that he or she is authorized to execute this  agreement on behalf of the Sponsoring organization and that he or she has read,  understands, and agrees to the Terms & Conditions of this agreement. Battelle  retains the exclusive right to control all aspects of the 2019 Bioremediation  Symposium and reserves the right to accept or deny sponsorship eligibility of  any organization for any reason. Symposium sponsorship does not imply  endorsement of any product or service of sponsoring organizations by Battelle  or the Bioremediation Symposium Office.
In exchange  for the benefits of the Sponsorship category selected, the sponsoring  organization agrees to pay the associated fee(s) according to the payment  schedule below. If you would like to request a different payment schedule,  please contact Susie Warner (swarner@scgcorp.com | 301-670-4990). All fees must  be paid in full by March 1, 2019. Early Exhibit booth selection may be denied  to qualifying Symposium Sponsors until initial payment is received. Separate Exhibitor Terms and Conditions apply to  sponsoring organizations that choose to exhibit. If the Bioremediation  Symposium is unable to provide any of the sponsor benefits for any reason, we  will inform the sponsoring organization as soon as reasonably possible and reserve  the right, as determined by us, to substitute comparable benefits.
