See One of our Systems in Action

Digitalis makes it easy for you to experience our products. We don't expect you to base such an important decision on a piece of paper or a website.

We are confident that our Digitarium systems offer the best value on the market for portable and small to medium fixed domes, and that makes us proud to demonstrate them. However, you don't have to take our word for the quality of our systems! To see one for yourself, you can:

1. Visit an existing customer.

Contact us to find out what organizations are already using a Digitarium system near you.

Here is a sampling of astronomy outreach programs using Digitarium systems.

2. Visit us at a conference or demonstration.

Chances are we will be near you, since we exhibit at many conferences and do many on-site demonstrations each year. We plan to have a Digitarium system set up at the following events:

2010

• Association of Science-Technology Centers, October 2-5, Honolulu, HI.
• Great Lakes Planetarium Association, October 20-23, Notre Dame, Indiana.
• Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching, November 11-13, Houston, Texas.

2011

• American Astronomical Society, January 9-13, Seattle, WA.
• National Association of Independent Schools, February 23-25, National Harbor, MD (near Washington, DC).
• National Science Teachers Association, March 10-13, San Francisco, CA.
• American Association of Community Colleges, April 9-12, New Orleans, LA.
• Western Alliance of Planetariums Conference, July 26-30, Killeen, TX.
• Live, Interactive Planetarium Symposium (LIPS), August 9-11, Bremerton, WA. Hosted by Digitalis!
• Association of Science-Technology Centers, October 15-18, Baltimore, MD.
• Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching, November 3-5, Dallas, TX.
• Middle Atlantic Planetarium Society.
• Southeastern Planetarium Association, Young Harris, GA.
• Great Lakes Planetarium Association.

3. Visit us in Bremerton, WA (Seattle area).

Set up a time to visit Digitalis' headquarters in Bremerton, Washington, just an hour outside of Seattle by ferry or car. Enjoy a trip to the Pacific Northwest, and "test drive" different Digitarium models in our 6.1m/20 ft diameter fixed dome or 5m/16 ft diameter inflatable dome. Please give us at least a few days' notice of your visit so that we can plan accordingly.

4. Have us visit you.

We will travel anywhere within the United States or Canada to show a Digitarium system to you. If you would like a Digitalis staff member to visit you, you can either:

• Pay travel costs for one of our staff to visit you. Contact us, and we'll compile a quotation and work with you to find a suitable date and time.
• Find at least one other interested institution to attend the demonstration, and we will pay our travel costs. If you are having difficulty finding interested institutions in your area, contact us. We may be able to give you some leads.

Purchase decision makers MUST be present at on-site demonstrations. Please note that these are demonstrations of product features and are not suitable as shows for the general public. Demonstration times vary in length, but you should budget one to two hours to spend with a Digitalis staff member.

Are you trying to decide between a Digitarium system and one from another company? Consider hosting a side-by-side comparison! Invite Digitalis and a company demonstrating a competing system to your institution, and see them both in action. We're always game for a side-by-side comparison with another vendor, but please check that the other vendor is, too--some may not be.
