The exhibition booth was very successful. A joint IODP-ICDP and ANDRILL Townhall Meeting was very well attended with about 350 participants. Short presentations were given by Carola Knebel (ICDP) and Keir Becker (IODP Forum Chair) and 24 posters showed yearly accomplishements of both programmes.

	3P Arctic 2013 – Stavanger, Norway, 15-18/10/2013 After the success of the booth at the conference held in Halifax, Canada, in 2011, ECORD took part as an exhibitor at the 3P Arctic Conference 2013 in Stavanger, Norway. The booth attracted steady interest throughout the conference and gave us the opportunity to show the areas where Arctic proposals have been submitted to IODP and help liaise with scientists and industry working in the region.
	Goldschmidt 2013 – Florence, Italy, 25-30/8/2013 For the third succesive year ECORD presented IODP to geochemists attending the Goldschmidt 2013. The conference was a major success with more than 4,100 participants. This year we invited ICDP to share a booth after many questions were asked at the Goldschmidt 2012 about lakes and continental drilling. More than 50 presentations were about IODP expeditions and the sessions related to IODP science draew many visitors to the booth.
	EGU 2013 – Vienna, Austria, 7-12/4/2013 Exhibition booth jointly organised with ICDP IODP-ICDP Townhall Meeting

	Goldschmidt 2012 – Montréal, Canada, 24-29/6/2012 For the second time, ECORD held an exhibit booth at a Goldschmidt conference to promote IODP to geochemists. The 22nd Goldschmidt gathered about 3,000 participants with 30% students and focused on Earth in Evolution. The exhibit booth was jointly organised by IODP Canada with support from IODP-MI and the GEOTOP, host of the conference. IODP Canada also took the opportunity to organise a townhall meeting to present the news of the programme.
	GAC-MAC 2012, St John’s, NF, Canada, May 27-29, 2012 IODP-Canada had an exhibition booth at the joint annual meeting of the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada (GAC-MAC).The conference was held in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and over 900 Earth scientists were in attendance. Some popular topics of discussion at the booth were drilling in the Arctic Ocean, Canada’s role in the programme post-2013, and the upcoming Newfoundland Sediment Drifts Expedition. Subscribers to the Canadian mailing list increased by ~10%.
	EGU 2012 – Vienna, Austria, 22-27/4/2012 Exhibition booth jointly organised with ICDP IODP-ICDP Townhall Meeting

	AGU Fall 2011 – San Francisco, USA, 5-9/12/2011 Albert Gerdes and Patricia Maruéjol worked in the IODP-MI booth organised by Miyuki Otomo, IODP-MI Communication Manager. The booth was a central point to meet the IODP science community and our Japanese and US colleagues. ECORD staff also took part in the well-attended IODP Townhall meeting and made contact with the journalists in the media room. Several informal meetings were held with Sarah Saunders and Matthew Wright (Ocean Leadership) and Diane Hanano (IODP Canada) to prepare portcall activities in Lisbon and the IODP-ECORD booth at the Goldschmidt Conference 2012 in Montréal respectively.
	3P Arctic 2011– Halifax, NS, Canada, 31/8-2/9/2011 The aim was to promote industry collaboration in this frontier area for both science and industry. As well as having a stand in the exhibition area, at which industry representatives were invited to identify geographical areas where they would benefit from scientific drilling, ECORD organised a scientific session chaired by Richard Hardman, the Chair of the ECORD Industry Liaison Panel, and Robert Gatliff, Chair of the ECORD Science Operator. The session was well-attended and clearly demonstrated the exciting opportunities for collaboration in the new programme.
	Goldschmidt 2011– Prague, Czech Republic, 14-19/8/2011 This year ECORD and IODP decided to have an exhibition booth at the Goldschmidt Conference, with the aim of presenting the programme to geochemists who did not attend the EGU meeting. With 3,300 participants, the conference was smaller than EGU, but there were many visitors to the booth asking for information and subscribing to Scientific Drilling. Contacts with the European Association of Geochemistry (EAG) were also made.
	GAC-MAC 2011 – Ottawa, Canada, 25-27/5/2011 IODP-Canada and ICDP-Canada shared an exhibition booth at the joint annual meeting of the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada, held at the University of Ottawa on May 25-27, 2011. Over 1050 Earth scientists, including 285 students, from Canada, the US, Europe and Asia attended the conference. Anne de Vernal, Chair of IODP-Canada, and the Co-ordinators of IODP-Canada and ICDP-Canada staffed the booth and met with students, faculty and funding agency representatives. Subscribers to the Canadian mailing list increased by over 10%.

	EGU 2011 – Vienna, Austria, 3-8/4/2011 The IODP-ICDP exhibition booth was a very active focal point for the scientific drilling community and also for scientists from other fields of research (biology, oceanology) and non-IODP countries (Russia, Brazil). Lively core scanner demonstrations with real cores were organised by ICDP. As a result we collected a total of 150 new subscribers to the IODP-ICDP Scientific Drilling journal. Many teachers who attended education sessions at EGU stopped by the booth to know about resources ECORD make available for the classroom activities and to pick up USIO and CDEX documents. The new ECORD/ESO video was shown for the first time.

Otomo, IODP	AGU Fall 2010 – San Francisco, USA, 14-17/12/2010 The IODP activities at AGU – booth and Townhall meeting – were organised by Miyuki Otomo (IODP-MI) with support from CDEX, ECORD and Consortium for Ocean Leadership. All displayed materials were very popular, in particular the INVEST and Chikyu DVDs, the ECORD Calendar 2010 and the last versions of the Newsletters. Albert Gerdes (ESO) and Amine Benchikh (EMA) volunteered to help on site. A journalist from Nature took the opportunity to meet Jamie Allen, Benoit Ildefonse, Andy Fisher and Heiko Palike.
