Advertising in the Print Issue of The Laserist Magazine

A printed version of The Laserist is published once-a-year in conjunction with the annual ILDA Conference. The glossy print magazine is primarily a membership directory/buyer's guide. It lists all current ILDA members, and allows readers to find companies in several different ways: alphabetically, by membership category (Corporate/Affiliate/Nonprofit etc), by country, and by country cross-referenced with membership category (for example, all corporate members in Germany).

The magazine will also contain important information about ILDA and articles of interest to the laser display community.

The magazine will be distributed at the SIB 2006 trade fair in Rimini, Italy (the location of the 2006 ILDA Conference), mailed to about 1,000 additional professionals, and will be available for sale through the ILDA Website. Circulation is approximately 2,000.

Please note: if you are an ILDA member, your listing will appear as it does in ILDA's Web directory. If you have purchased an additional Web listing, you will also receive an additional listing in the print directory.
