Purposes for sponsoring the realization of the project "Floating Island"


The project and the conception of the theatrical space on the boat will be solved multimedially, i.e. variability of space, which allows different attractive solutions from scenic handling up to congress and concert room. This project offers thereby a plenty of occasions for the sponsors join in by socio-cultural events, professional symposiums, cinema scoping, etc.
The whole domain of the boat can be used by the sponsors for meetings with clients, press conferences and presentations.
Since our island can move across Europe, it can advertise on its way the brand of the sponsors in a substandard and uncommon manner.  For this purpose laser technology will be installed on the boat to project on artificial fog and water walls. Of course conventional methods such as posters, programs, tickets and complete promotion material will be aboard. An indivisible part of the Floating Island tour will be additional programs at the anchorage in important European cities.
This is a unique possibility for sponsors to participate in the realization of a high-spirited idea and meanwhile getting the possibility to present their company in foreign and important cities in Europe.
