Show Billboards and Kiosks
Stand Out In The Crowd
Make sure attendees visit your booth by placing freestanding Billboards and two-sided Kiosks in high traffic areas at the show. You provide your artwork mounted on foamcore and DCI will frame and position your ad in a prime location where you'll be sure to catch the eye of your target audience.
Banners
Fly High With All The Attention
You are seen as the market leader when your banner is flying high. We will hang your corporate banner or help you produce one. Attendees will notice your name in high traffic areas and will KNOW you are present.
Shuttle Buses
Serve Your Customers
DCI events attract attendees from all over the globe and those visitors stay at nearby hotels while at the show. Your advertisements or marketing materials will be placed on shuttle buses, which take attendees from their hotel to the conference site and back, and will be sure to attract attention from attendees grateful for the free ride.
Conference Badge Holder Insert
Reach Every Attendee With Your Corporate Message
We will insert your corporate message or invitation into every attendee's badge holder. When attendees pick up their badge they will also receive your message. This is a great way to address everyone at the show and receive individual attention.
Canvas Tote Bags
A Walking Billboard
Canvas Tote Bags can be distributed to all conference attendees at the event. These attendees have made a significant financial investment in the event and are the most highly qualified attendees at the show. "Tote" bags are used to carry all conference and exposition materials during the event. This opportunity is limited to one or two sponsors who may purchase one side of the tote bag for their company artwork and/or logo. Make an impression on each conference attendee for many years to come.
