These opportunities include both electronic and static signage in the public and semi-public areas within the facilities, and outside the facilities as well. Electronic signage encompasses our plasma screen displays throughout the convention center, a prominent 11 foot triple display, and an LED wall marquee. This is a great opportunity to attract passers-by to your event, or for show exhibitors to entice more foot traffic to their booth. Some new opportunities include restroom advertising, Gobo projection systems, sponsored recycling bins and advertising banners in the concession areas. Additionally we are able to provide all of the usual forms of advertising including free standing signs, glass decals, banners, floor decals, stair kick-strips and column wraps.
