We are inviting industry to sponsor a student (or students) to attend MASS with their future peers! This opportunity will allow students to interact with industry leaders and get inspired to become our workforce of tomorrow. Students will be welcomed to register for a sponsored ticket through ACADA, who will pair those students with sponsored tickets as they are purchased. ACADA will pass along these industry-sponsored full conference passes to post-secondary students in Marine, Defence, and Engineering focussed programs in NL and the industry member will get recognition both with our student guests and attendees in on-screen recognition at the conference.
Here’s how it works:
Students: If you would like to attend MASS 2023 at no cost, please complete this simple form. We will match students with full conference passes at no cost as industry sponsors sign on. This is open to college and university students in programs applicable to the A&D sector.
Industry: Sponsor a student (or a few) by adding a student ticket to your order at check-out when you register. You can also do a transaction for just student tickets. The ACADA team will take it from there and match college and university students with full conference passes.
If you are a student and wish to attend no matter what, you can purchase a ticket at student pricing right away. Simply email [email protected] for details.
