Business gets done through the National Sports Forum...
|

|
As a result of the relationship developed between i6 and Kevin Lyman (Vans Warped Tour) at the 2009 National Sports Forum, i6 was selected to design and produce a unique, limited-edition ticket for the 2009 Vans Warped Tour, America’s longest running music festival tour. The goal was to drive presales and resulted in a new presale record!
Kevin also chose i6 to do the same for his Rockstar Mayhem Festival, again resulting in record sales. i6 is excited to have the opportunity to provide fans and sponsors of Warped Tour and Mayhem Festival with added value through their tickets. This is i6’s first venture into the music industry and comes as a result of the networking opportunities provided by the NSF.

I thought I would share with you the following links from the Minnesota Vikings and St. Louis Rams first FanForum event(s), which were hosted yesterday and on March 16th. The National Sports Forum allowed Broadnet to personally meet with these teams and their head decision makers. This opportunity allowed us to personally share our successes with these teams, giving them the ability to see first hand how our platform works during live time.
Thanks again to the National Sports Forum!!!
- Frank Ford, Business Development Manager, Broadnet

Company Description
Airstar is the inventor and worldwide leader of the lighting balloon industry. The company began operation in January of 1994 in Grenoble, France with the invention and production of the first helium filled lighting balloon. The initial product, the Lunix, was used to light sporting events in and around eastern France. From those humble beginnings sprang an industry that is now part of a global network that features over 40 offices and distributors around the world. Always the innovator, Airstar has expanded from the original sports lighting market to the Special Event, Exhibit/Tradeshow, Film, Festival, Construction, Rescue and Business Entertainment market.
The key to success has been its ability to listen to the marketplace and develop products that can be adapted for specific uses within these industries. The core of the business still revolves around the lighting balloon line which range in size from 5' in diameter to 23' in diameter and light from 10,000 square feet to 160,000 square feet, but innovations like the Towair, the Arch and a series of air filled products has been added to the stable in direct response to customer requests. Lighting large areas with a soft glare free illumination is a cornerstone of what Airstar does best, but these same instruments can also be used to display graphics and digital pictures or act as décor pieces.
We find that our best resource for new adaptations is the imagination of our customers.
