Call For
Tutorials 
Tutorials are short (30 minute) presentations about
a product, service, or subject of interest to the
loudspeaker industry. They need not be as technical in
nature as a paper presentation, and may have more
commercial bias. We have time available for
a couple more tutorials, so if you have something that
you would like to present, please email management@almainternational.org
with a short outline. Although
tutorials are selected primarily based on the
committee's opinion on which will have the broadest
interest to our members, priority is generally given to
exhibitors. |

Sponsorship
Opportunities
We have several sponsorship
opportunities available. Sponsorship is a great way for
exhibitors to raise their profile at the event, or even
for people unable to exhibit to maintain a presence.
Sponsorship opportunities up for grabs
include:
- Proceedings CD. $400 gets your name on the
proceedings CDs sold at the show. A new low advance
order rate for people wishing to purchase the CD
will ensure wider promotion of your company
message. To further increase the value of this
sponsorship, you may include a powerpoint presentation
or company literature on the CD.
- Wine sponsorship: Make a favorable impression on
your customers by providing wine at the members
dinner. We have sponsorship options of $500, $200 and
$100. Contact ALMA for full details.
Please contact ALMA to discuss any of the above
