Research Network Growth SEPM is an international not-for-profit society with 11-50 employees and a member network spanning multiple geographies, presenting a growth opportunity to expand engagement with academic institutions, research labs, and industry partners in sedimentary geology and related fields.

Content and Education The organization publishes two major journals (Journal of Sedimentary Research and PALAIOS) and runs conferences, short courses, and continuing education programs, offering avenues to upsell sponsorships, advertising, event seats, and subscription-based offerings.

Industry Collaboration Active participation in large geoscience events like IMAGE and collaboration with SEG and AAPG signal potential co-sell opportunities with partner societies for conferences, joint trainings, and bundled member benefits.

Technology Enablement Adoption of common enterprise tech (Microsoft 365, analytics tools, tagging, and CMS-like infrastructure) indicates openness to digital engagement, CRM-driven outreach, programmatic marketing, and data-led member services.

Funding and Reach With a revenue range of 100–250 million and an international member base, SEPM represents a sizable market for high-value partnerships, sponsorships, and licensing deals with vendors serving sedimentology, stratigraphy, hydrogeology, paleontology, and environmental geoscience.
