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 Hydrographic Great Basin is a 200,000 square mile area of the American West that extends from the Sierra Nevada Range in California to the Wasatch Range in Utah, and from southern Oregon to southern Nevada.
