Attendee Services

 

Networking parks

The networking parks provide the perfect places for attendees to relax, enjoy comfortable seating and meet with colleagues — all without leaving the exhibit hall. Attendees will make these parks a destination for gatherings with their facility team, peers, or to conduct quick meetings with exhibitors. The two parks are conveniently located across the trade show floor.

The parks also feature a variety of amenities to entice the attendee and have them experience relaxed luxury. Each area will feature a satellite internet kiosk (currently sponsored by DuPont) so attendees can catch up on e-mail or other news. Networking pods are also positioned to facilitate meetings and conversations, or simply to relax and take a load off.

You now have the opportunity to make one or all of these areas your own with a unique and limited branding opportunity. The options for customization are varied, but would include the opportunity to place a piece of equipment within the park as a display. In addition, large signage with your logo and the words "Networking Park" will hang high above to draw attendees to the area. That same branded treatment will be used in all communications about the park, including in attendee newsletters, in GCM and on the trade show map. As an added touch, you can choose the carpet color you prefer to give you a true sense that the space is yours.

 

Internet and satellite cafés

Always one of the most popular services available at the show, the Internet Cafés provide convenient e-mail and Internet access. Sponsorship of the Internet Café will provide you with tremendous exposure throughout the Golf Industry Show to between 3,000 and 4,000 visitors.

Satellite cafés: Have your company logo, tagline, message or booth number displayed on three computer terminals in satellite café areas and kiosk signage. Don't miss this opportunity for greater exposure on the trade show floor.

 

International Resource Center

A popular service available to international attendees is the International Resource Center, which gives these attendees a place to relax, connect with acquaintances and enjoy refreshments. The center is staffed with a multilingual interpreter and visited by an estimated 1,800 attendees during the week. Don't miss this opportunity for tremendous exposure.

 

Attendee pens

Put your name in the hands of each and every attendee. We will put your company name/logo on thousands of pens that are placed in registration, attendee resource areas and throughout the convention center.

 

Merchandise/Bookstore bags

Between 3,000 and 4,000 show attendees visit the Merchandise Store and Bookstore every year. Put your company name and logo in the hands of these attendees by sponsoring the bags. You also get to put your promotional piece (subject to show management approval) in the bag.

 

Attendee bags

Put your company's marketing message directly into the hands of every qualified buyer at the Golf Industry Show. The bags will be available to approximately 8,000 to10,000 qualified buyers, and will be carried all week at the convention center.

This opportunity is available to two sponsors and provides qualified buyers a convenient way to collect and carry information and take away items from exhibitors. The bags will be highly sought after, and small items will be inserted into the bag. The bags will be co-branded with the Golf Industry Show logo. Both sponsors will receive one insert in the bag at their cost. Items must be pre-approved by Golf Industry Show Management. The sponsors will also receive name recognition on kiosk signage.

 

Charging stations

Attendees to the Golf Industry Show are increasingly carrying cell phones and PDAs with them across the show floor. Often times, their gadgets don't have enough "juice" to get through the day. Now you can provide the solution with logoed cell phone charging stations. It's a resource attendees are sure to use and appreciate.

 

Hydration stations

In an effort to reduce its impact on the environment, the Golf Industry Show will feature Hydration Stations in various convenient locations on the trade show floor so that attendees can pick up a reusable and refillable sports bottle. These bottles will be seen and used throughout the convention center and long after attendees return home.

 

Recycle bins

Help attendees recycle by sponsorsing these exclusive bins for designated waste. The bins will be placed throughout the convention center with attractively designed structure with prominent logo recognition.

Banners

Impact attendees as soon as they enter the convention center lobby with a massive banner. Seen repeatedly throughout the five-day event, this opportunity is sure to make a lasting statement about your brand.

 

Shuttle bus wraps

The packages:

• Design support, pre-production proofs and production of signs
• Installation and removal labor
• Shipping and taxes
• Vendor advance and on-site coordination to ensure signs are installed on correct motorcoaches that are running on the shuttle.

Package upgrades available:

• Extra set of artwork for each sponsor (to create different banners within same package)
• Side panel added to other side of motorcoaches (two banners per vehicle)
• Back panel on vehicle

 

Shuttle bus headrests

Place your company name and logo front and center by becoming a sponsor of the Golf Industry Show shuttle bus headrests. The motorcoaches will transport attendees to and from the convention center and deliver thousands of impressions!

 

Attendee bag inserts

Put your company's marketing message directly "in the bag" of every qualified buyer at the Golf Industry Show. The registration bags will be available to approximately 8,000 qualified buyers, and will be carried all week at the convention center. Inserts must be pre-approved by Golf Industry Show Management.
