Spotlight on You
At SGIA’08, make sure the spotlight is on your company as attendees enter the Georgia World Congress Center. With more than 24 opportunities (starting at $100) to sponsor the trade show that best represents the full range of specialty imaging technology, it’s easy to get their attention. Check out these sponsorship opportunities and contact SGIA’s Convention Department: 703.359.1328 to customize the best sponsorship opportunity for you.

Joy Ride
Back by popular demand, the shuttle buses that will travel between SGIA’08 and the contracted hotels are an excellent way to make sure you are easily seen by attendees, in fact, many will identify the SGIA’08 buses strictly by the bus wrap.

Choose from three size options and prominently display your artwork for all of downtown Atlanta. The return on this investment is guaranteed to be joyful. Investment: $5,000 and up. Contact SGIA’s Convention Department: 703.359.1328.

Give Out Your Digits
Let your clients and prospects know where to find you. Use the official SGIA‘08 exhibitor logo to publicize your booth number by adding it to e-mails, ads and your Web site. It’s easy, efficient and cost-effective and it's the best way to be sure they know how to find you.

Invite Your Customers
It doesn’t have to be fancy or formal, but inviting your customers to visit you at SGIA’08 — especially if they’re coming in from outside the United States and need a travel visa — will pay off. They’ll have another reason to attend the show and see you there.

If you or your customers need a letter of invitation for SGIA’08, request your letter online no later than June 1, 2008, to receive it without charge. (Please note there is a fee for express delivery). After June 1, there will be a $50 service charge.

Your Virtual Reality
SGIA’s Virtual Trade Show is the best way to let customers know what you’re all about at SGIA’08. Keep it updated all year long with new products and show specials. This very popular section of SGIA.org gets more traffic as we get closer to the show, so be sure to take advantage of it! Update Your VTS Booth: Log in and make the most of your VTS booth using your company ID and password. If you do not know your company ID and password, or if you are having trouble logging in, please contact SGIA’s Convention Department: 703.359.1328.

Go Smoothly Into SGIA‘08
Coming in May, your Exhibitor Service Manual will be online at SGIA.org. Use it for all the forms, dates and details you need to make your exhibiting experience run smoothly.

Reserve Your Hotel Rooms Early, Pay Later
Reserve your hotel rooms for SGIA’08 today. Our headquarters hotel — which will host the Friday Night Dinner Party — is the Westin Peachtree Plaza, and rooms are going fast! Compare hotels and book your rooms today, using the official SGIA housing partner, Travel Planners.

Save your money until the show! Using Travel Planners, you get great rates but don’t pay for your room until you check out (unlike other online housing Web sites), so there’s no reason to wait to reserve. Plus, representatives will be on-site at SGIA‘08 in Atlanta to assist with all of your housing needs.

Keep Attendees In the Know
Be sure to e-mail your news and any accompanying images to Cass Johnson for use in SGIA’s Industry Insights and the Hard Copy section of SGIA News to keep attendees and members up-to-date with information about your company.
