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 2025 NCKMS production team is still working out details for federally recognized non-profit organizations and related informational displays. We will endeavor to make room for on-topic and cave-related organizations as much as possible. Please reach out to us no sooner than February, 2025.

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. The entire basin contains what's called an endorheic watershed. All precipitation in this region evaporates, sinks underground, or flows into lakes. No water reaches the ocean.
Registration for the 2025 symposium has been briefly delayed as we try to interpret the impact global tariffs will have on our financial model. A lot of items we purchase for the conference are sourced from international markets (convention bags, merchandise, etc.) We should have this figured out in the next few days and will send an email to past attendees when that system comes online.
