Sponsorship and participation opportunities

ILDA Members can get involved with LDI, both with paid sponsorship activities and with free/low-cost participation. Both of these opportunities give you visibility at LDI, and show your support of ILDA and the laser industry.

Here is a summary of the opportunities. Click on any item to jump to more information below:

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

ILDA Booth and ILDA Laser Theater sponsors

As of September 6 2007, all sponsorships for the ILDA Booth and for the ILDA Laser Theater have been taken. A list of sponsors is above (in the blue box at the top of this page). To find out more about the different levels, and the various benefits the sponsors receive, click here.

 
ILDA Laser Theater - Sponsored Presentations

ILDA Members can present shows up to ten minutes in length, in the Laser Theater. Each 10-minute Sponsored Presentation is a "slot". There will be approximately 40 slots available over the three-day run of the Laser Theater (28 slots are still available as of August 27). The show schedule will be printed in the program, so that LDI/IAAPA attendees can know about and attend the presentations that most interest them.

A 10-minute presentation can be a single show, or can be a "best of" compilation from different shows by the same company. It can include laser projections, video and/or a live speaker. The presentation is prepared by the submitting company. It must meet the technical requirements of the equipment in the Laser Theater. Audience scanning shows are permitted, but due to U.S. regulation enforcement, the audience portion of the show may not be as bright as overseas shows.

Sponsored Presentations are first-come, first-served. If you are interested, contact ILDA's Executive Director as soon as possible.

PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES

ILDA Members can participate in the LDI show at many levels.

Purchase a booth at LDI for your company

The best way to meet U.S. and international buyers of lasershow services and equipment, is to take a booth on the LDI floor. ILDA Member LaserNet will be one of the companies exhibiting at LDI.

And, since ILDA is having a large, professional show at the Laser Theater, it is possible that you may not need as large a booth, or to bring as much equipment as normal. Prospective buyers will be able to see many examples of laser beam and graphics shows in the Theater.

For more information on rates and availability, visit LDI's website.

Advertise in the printed program

LDI/IAAPA attendees will receive a full-color printed program at the ILDA Booth and in the Laser Theater.

• The program includes ILDA's membership list. Every ILDA Member will be listed, free of charge. The information is taken from the online membership directory. Each listing consists of name, contact information, dues level and category, and company description. Members at a higher dues level receive bolder, larger names to help them stand out.
• In addition, the program contains information about the ILDA Laser Theater (such as location and presentation schedules), background articles on laser shows, and paid display advertising.

All ILDA Members are listed for free in the program. Paid advertising and highlighted directory listings are available as follows:

Literature Distribution Service
     $1.00 per piece, for ILDA Members only

ILDA is pleased to help distribute ILDA Members' literature. Pieces will be handed out both in the ILDA Booth, and at the Laser Theater. This service is available to all ILDA members for $1.00 per piece submitted. If you aren't able to exhibit at LDI, this is the next best thing to being there!

 
Buy drink coupons

ILDA Members can purchase $5.00 drink coupons to give to their customers. These are used at the cash bar, located in the ILDA Laser Theater, which operates each afternoon (2-6 pm Fri/Sat, 12-4 pm Sun). Each coupon is good for a beer, soft drink, water -- or for $5.00 credit towards a mixed drink.

Handing out coupons is a great "thank you" for customers and visitors to your booth. It also gives an incentive for them to visit the Laser Theater, to see the latest in laser displays and technology.

Coupons can be purchased in advance (to put in mailings), or at the ILDA Booth and Laser Theater during the LDI show.

Be a speaker at the ILDA Seminars

We are looking for experienced, knowledgeable persons to speak at the three seminars that ILDA is presenting. For more information see the Seminars page. 

Help out at the ILDA Booth, and at the Laser Theater

If you can spend a few hours helping with setup, booth support, and teardown, that would be a great help. It is also a great way to work with your fellow ILDA Members, and to meet LDI and IAAPA attendees interested in lasers. To find out more, contact Patrick Murphy, ILDA's Executive Director. 

Donate lighting and sound equipment for the Laser Theater

We are looking for donations of lighting and sound equipment. If you can help, please contact Christine Jenkin at LaserNet in Miami: (+1) 305-690-6881 or christineatlasernetdotcom
