It is a fantastic opportunity to be involved
Just like 2009 this is a fantastic opportunity for our members and the association. One of the main ways that you can be involved is to come along and staff the stand.
There are many benefits to being involved – staffing the stand is an opportunity to get your name and face out to the public, to network with other members, other desigmers and industry people. It is also a way that you can help promote AILDM as an association to other people. Visiting the show is a chance to broaden your knowledge.
