REGISTRATION

Registration procedure for exhibitors and sponsors’ representatives:Full access tickets included in your package can be booked on the special registration site. The registration link/form will be sent to the exhibitor/sponsor’s main contact person closer to the event.
No names are to be provided for the exhibitor’s booth only ticket**.
For any additional registrations and group discounts, please refer to the normal registration site.
Group bookings have to be made through a special registration form provided on the event’s registration webpage.

**The booth only ticket is provided to man/animate the exhibition booth throughout the conference and also during the sessions and therefore permits access to the exhibition area only (conference breaks and lunch included.). It is transferable so that exhibitors can organise a “rolling system” of their booth staff, but exhibitors have to organise the hand-over of the badge in the registration area (outside the exhibition and conference area) as only one company badge will be provided. The booth only badge will show the exhibitor’s company name and not any persons’ name. Booth staff names are not listed on the delegates list. Badges must be worn throughout the conference.

JUNIOR FREE TICKETS

For some events (see features overview), ALFI is offering a free ticket for one of your junior colleagues. A link will be sent to the sponsor’s main contact person closer to the event. Applications are subject to approval by ALFI.

EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS

Exclusive sponsorships are available for one sponsor per event only (e.g. paper badge/WIFI card/Bag/Charging station sponsorship). ALFI will integrate the sponsor’s logo on the item’s layout and send it to the sponsor for final approval. No free pass(es) are included in these options.

INTERACTIVE BADGE OPTION

If you are interested in this option, please contact events@alfi.lu to discuss the different possibilities.

ADD-ON/CUSTOMISED OPTIONS

Add-on/customised sponsorships (see features overview) are subject to a minimum commitment (min. onsite or package sponsorship option).

BREAK OPTION

The production of the branded cups/mugs/napkins is taken care of and costs are borne by the sponsor. However, the sponsor will provide a design proof of the cup/serviette layout to ALFI for approval before production.

PRIVATE LUNCH OPTION

Private lunch sponsors are entitled to 3 reserved tables of 10 persons each, i.e. a maximum of 30 guests (additional guests will be charged). Guests have to be conference attendees. Representatives of the sponsoring company that are not attending the conference, may join to chair one of the private lunch tables on request. Logistical details, such as location of the lunch, menu choice, decoration, staff for helping to welcome and seat invitees, sound system, screen, timing etc. are subject to discussion with ALFI. No logo is included in this option as there is no benefit to attendees.

SPEAKER AND PRESS LOUNGE OPTION

Can be booked as exclusive annual or long-term sponsorship (as there are set-up costs involved), in which case the sponsorship would not be made available to other members for the duration of the commitment. Branding and building of the speaker lounge is at the charge of the sponsor and not included in the sponsorship fee. ALFI will provide and pay for basic lounge furniture and drinks and will provide a hostess for access control.

The lounge is supposed to be a quiet place where speakers and press can prepare their speeches & articles and are not disturbed. Therefore: Access to the lounge is limited to conference speakers, press, VIPs, interview partners of press, ALFI staff and the sponsor’s “booth only person”. During conference breaks, up to 3 of the sponsors’ representatives (full access registrants) may access at the same time. Display of sponsors’ brochures in the lounge has to be kept discreet (1 small document stand only). Any other display of materials or promotional items is subject to approval by ALFI.

30-min. LUNCH SESSION OPTION

ALFI will gather replies of all interested sponsors up until the deadline of 6 December 2019. Kindly provide your topic/speaker suggestion (related to the conference programme) to events@alfi.lu, which will be the major decision criteria for the conference producer.

ROADSHOW SPONSORSHIP

Sponsors are responsible for the delivery, tracking and return of their materials to and from the seminar venue(s) as well as for organising the accommodation and travel arrangements of their company’s representatives. Kindly limit the number of brochures/distribution items you send (max. 4-5 different ones). Please carefully read the logistical information that will be sent closer to each roadshow to your contact person nominated on the agreement form.
