Fire and Climate Conference Sponsorship & Exhibitors Prospectus

Sponsorship & Exhibitor Prospectus Presented by International Association of Wildland Fire

About the IAWF The International Association of Wildland Fire (IAWF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) professional association committed to a non-partisan approach for uniting the global wildland fire community. We were formed in 1990 as a global professional membership association. For 30 years, IAWF has grown from a fledgling organization to the foremost global member-focused association spanning 26+ countries.

The IAWF was formed to promote a better understanding of wildland fire and built on the belief that an understanding of this dynamic natural force is vital for natural resource management, to protect the health, safety and welfare of people including firefighters, prescribed fire practitioners and the public, for harmonious interactions between people and their environment, and for healthy ecosystems. IAWF is dedicated to communicating with the entire wildland fire community and providing a global linkage for people with shared interest in wildland fire and all of the associated topics of this multifaceted community.

To accomplish these goals, we convene and create networks across sectors, fields and disciplines to connect the wildland fire community through multiple platforms, including conferences, our website, the premier academic journal in our field (International Journal of Wildland Fire), a popular-oriented magazine (Wildfire) and via social media outlets, such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In.

Conference Profile The International Association of Wildland Fire (IAWF) Fire & Climate Conference will focus on one of the most important forces shaping wildfire to address this formidable challenge in the new decade.

The cascading impacts from fires, the cumulative effects from successive wildfires and the ability to be resilient in the face of these challenges are a call to the wildland fire community to think smarter, faster, and entertain novel ideas to prepare for, respond to and recover from these events. Wildland fire is a dire problem and demands that we address the complexities that contribute to the social, biophysical and design elements that contribute to present day dilemmas. An international gathering that encompasses the entirety of the wildland fire community, including the benefits of and need for more prescribed burning, will help us address these complexities.

The Fire & Climate conference is relevant for researchers and practitioners with expertise in a range of wildland fire areas including air quality monitoring and/ or regulation, land management, fire responders, public health, fire weather, climate change and forecasting, among others.

This hybrid conference will leverage the lessons learned in recent extreme wildfire seasons around the globe and discuss emerging adaptive behaviors to benefit the entire international wildland fire community. During the conference, participants will discuss the latest scientific advances, explore how scientific information is being put to practical use in the field and utilized to inform public policy, as well as consider gaps and limits in our current understanding.
