ILDA Professional accreditation
ILDA also has a program where companies can gain special accreditation based on professional experience. The “ILDA Pro” designation can be earned by Corporate Members as well as by non-members.
For more information, see the ILDA Professional page.
CORPORATE MEMBER
A company that is involved with laser displays and shows. This includes making and presenting laser shows, manufacturing lasers and equipment used in laser shows, and providing lasershow-related services including software and artware.
Which Corporate level is right for you?
There are three levels of Corporate Membership. The higher your company’s gross annual billings (gross sales) for lasershow-related goods and services, the higher your Corporate Level and dues. This way, larger companies pay more, yet ILDA is still affordable for smaller companies. Details are here.
Corporate Members have 4, 3 or 2 votes for the Board & President and on issues affecting ILDA. The higher the level (and the more dues paid), the more votes a company has.
Branch offices
If you have branch offices in other countries, you may want to consider having a separate Membership for each major location. For a discussion of the advantages, see the Branch office listings policy page.
