NOWCastSA is seeking sponsors to commit to funding the live webcast production of the 2016 International Conference on Aging in the Americas. Promote your brand and support public media.

1. Sponsor the live webcast of the 2016 International Conference on
Aging in the Americas
Contextualizing Health and Aging on Both Sides of the U.S./Mexico Border
The University of Texas at San Antonio College of Public Policy (COPP) will host the 10th
Annual International Conference on Aging in the Americas (ICAA) September 14-16 in San
Antonio. Due to the wide appeal of this conference and geographic limitations of interested
participants, COPP would like to provide a live webcast and archived videos of the
conference sessions so the entire community can benefit from this important event by
attending online. However, COPP only has enough funds to cover the production costs of
half of the conference sessions. NOWCastSA is seeking sponsors to commit to funding this
production so the entire conference can be webcast live on YouTube and replayed later.
