Media Breakfasts/Lunches - $5,000/$7,500
The old saying “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is doubly apropos for the media. The 200-plus members of the international media expected at SID 2007 will be scrambling to cover the show, but media members always take time to eat, especially if food is provided to them for free. Your company can get its message out to a captive media audience by sponsoring one of the media breakfasts or lunches at SID 2007. During the function, your company can make presentations regarding new products or anything you wish to discuss with the media. We will help you promote your sponsorship of media meals via our media distribution list. Breakfast sponsorships are available Wednesday and Thursday, May 23-24, while lunch sponsorships are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
May 22, 23 and 24. Please note: Attendance is limited.

Exhibit Guide Belly Band - $4,000
Take advantage of this opportunity to expose your brand to all SID attendees as they head into the SID 2007 exhibition. A belly band with your corporate identity will be wrapped around the outside of the official SID 2007 Exhibit Guide, meaning that anyone who picks one up will instantly read about your company. This is a one-time opportunity so don’t delay!

Hotel Room Drop: $2,600
When attendees arrive at SID 2007, they are inundated with materials. Your company can rise above the clutter by participating in the Hotel Room Drop, ensuring that your promotional literature gets delivered to attendees before they arrive at the convention center. Your company’s material will be delivered directly to each room in the SID room blocks in the official hotels for SID 2007. This $2,600 fee is per piece of material, and does not include hotel charges.

SID Long Beach Map - $2,500
Advertise your company on the resource that all attendees will reference constantly throughout Display Week, whether they are in the exhibit hall or at The Queen Mary. This attractive, professionally designed map features the official layout of the exhibition hall on one side, and a map of Long Beach on the other, with advertising opportunities on each side. This is a resource that SID attendees will refer to again and again, meaning that your return on investment for this sponsorship will be sky high! Contact us for a sample of the map.

Posters/Banners - $2,800
Picture the registration area at the Long Beach Convention Center decked out with your company logo—the first thing that the 8,000+ expected attendees will see when they arrive at the conference each day. We will work with you to develop an eye-catching banner sure to grab the attention of attendees. This sponsorship is available to more than one company. (NOTE: The $2,800 fee does not include the
production of the banner. Also, size and placement must meet conference manager’s approval.) Deadline: March 1, 2007

Refreshment Break - $2,700
Our popular morning and afternoon refreshment breaks inside the exhibit hall will take place Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Posters will identify your company as a sponsor during your designated break, as will an announcement over the public-address system throughout the Exhibit Hall. In addition, you will be listed as a Refreshment Break Sponsor in the Exhibit Guide and on the SID 2007 Web site. For a nominal fee, you can add various promotional items to decorate your sponsored break and further promote your brand. The opportunity to select which break you want to sponsor will be determined on a first-come, first-serve basis, so book this great sponsorship opportunity now!

SID 2007 Tote Bag Novelty Item - $1,500
To ensure that your corporate identity has staying power, sponsor a novelty item that will be placed in the Official SID 2007 Tote Bag. The Tote Bag will be distributed to every person who attends the technical sessions, so calendars, pens, key chains or any other item with your logo on it will keep your brand name at the fingertips of the 3,500+ expected attendees at the technical sessions. You may supply
your own product, or we can produce the item for you. (NOTE: The $1,500 fee does not include production of the novelty items.)

Brochure Display - $1,000 (New for 2007)
Catch conference attendees before the Exhibits open by displaying your promotional materials in custom-built literature bins in the Registration area. Your materials will be displayed for all attendees to see.
