It's all available at ALSD Suite Gifts
Dear ALSD Members:
In tough times, provide value. The ALSD continues to be pro-active in the premium markets - this year, we instituted with much success, the ability of teams to sign up for next year's show at 2006 prices. We are continuing our attempts to help teams to stay within their budgets.
ALSD is pleased to announce a new "Co-op Buying" program that allows our member teams to purchase promotional products from nearly 500 national manufacturers at major discounts.
Now, for the first time, ALSD will be able to leverage the cooperative buying power of our entire organization to drive substantial savings on branded products. This ALSD buying Co-op is a unique and exclusive program that will be tied into the member benefits area of the ALSD's new interactive website.
This program will include a website where you can browse for ideas, order products and participate in ongoing Co-op GroupBuys at substantial savings. Our partner for this program, Boundless Network, is one of the top creative merchandise consultants in the industry (in the top 2% nationwide) and is already securing highly competitive pricing for our organization.

Get Ready For Dallas!
The 19th Annual ALSD Conference and Tradeshow
June 27 - July 1, 2009
With nearly double the number of suites of any other city in the country, Dallas will be the perfect location for ALSD's 19th Annual Show being held at the renowned Hilton Anatole Dallas.
Dallas has conceivably the finest group of diverse venues of any city in the country when it comes to the premium market. The Dallas Cowboys’ new venue—with a mere 300 suites—will literally be just completed at show time. But American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars and Dallas Desperados is one of the most brilliantly designed arenas in the country. Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers, is in the midst of a major redevelopment will also be featured.
But there is more. Lots more.
Texas Motor Speedway is one of NASCAR’s finest tracks, complete with 78 suites. Frisco RoughRiders’ Dr Pepper Park is perhaps the premier minor league baseball park in America with unique suite chalets and a four-year sellout track record. FC Dallas’ Pizza Hut Park is one of the few soccer specific stadiums in the country with beautiful club areas and suites.
"In terms of the suites marketplace, Dallas is the capital of the world," says Bill Dorsey, ALSD Executive Director. "Our attendees are going to be amazed. We plan on having each segment, Racing, Performing Arts, Minor Leagues and Colleges, each have their own tour of their own buildings during our first ever 'alternative venue day.’'
More information on the ALSD show will be forthcoming.

Welcome to the ALSD's New Website
Yes, it's been a long time coming but the ALSD’s new web page is finally here.
It is easy to use.
It is interactive.
The Members Section (still under construction) will offer far more benefits than ever before including:
• First Annual Buyers' Guide (published in Fall)
• Messages Boards
• Updated menu/lease/amenity section
• Expanded IT Website link for the IT Division
• Annual Reference Manual
"The new ALSD website is intended to keep ALSD members far more engaged than they have in the past. Too often, our website is viewed as more of a conference website and not as something that will provide information and materials on the $10 billion premium seat marketplace on an ongoing basis. This website will address this misperception," says Bill Dorsey, ALSD Executive Director.
Components of the website are still under construction but will be fully up and running in the next few months.
Enjoy!
