The 2025 NCKMS production team can provide reasonable display space for federally recognized non-profit organizations and related cave & karst-focused groups. We will endeavor to make room for on-topic and cave-related organizations as much as possible. Please reach out to us at ely2025@nckms.org no later than Friday, September 12.
Merchandise sales, services and consulting, and equipment sales at the 2025 NCKMS conference is strictly limited to our sponsors and to the Western Cave Conservancy. Unless specific permission is otherwise granted, non-sponsors will be limited to receiving organizational donations only. Taxes and business licensing regulations of White Pine County, Nevada will be enforced. No food or beverage vendors will be allowed. Additional restrictions may apply.
Corporate collaboration between the scientific community and the private sector enables researchers and professionals to connect with industry leaders, creating a platform for the exchange of ideas, technologies, and best practices. This collaboration often results in innovative solutions to real-world problems, driving advancements that benefit both the corporate sponsors and the scientific community.
The 2025 NCKMS team would be happy to custom-design a program to provide your business the maximum of benefit and visibility. Please feel free to reach us at any time at ely2025@nckms.org to discuss how we might integrate your organization into our production.

The National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) is a nexus of research, stewardship, outreach and information for caves and karst while fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, created by the US Congress in 1998 in partnership with the National Park Service, State of New Mexico, and the City of Carlsbad.
NCKRI is located in Carlsbad, NM, and is a research center of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
Great Basin National Park is home to Lexington Arch, one of the largest limestone arches in the western United States. This six-story arch was created by the forces of weather working slowly over the span of centuries. This type of above ground limestone arch is rare.
