Detailsof sponsorship opportunities. Table of opportunities for each sponsorship level, with what is included in each level indicated by an image of the relevant clay mineral structure. Chlorite - 1000 euros Illite - 1750 euros Kaolin - 3500 euros Smectite - 5000+ euros
If you are interested in sponsoring or exhibiting at the International Clay Conference in Dublin, please get in touch (icc.aipea.org/sponsoring/).
Rather than the traditional metal categories (Bronze, Ag, Au & Pt) we had, of course, to use clays & clay minerals!
