Overview
From dance clubs and lounges to hip bars and gentlemen’s clubs,
Club Systems International is the sourcebook for every
shade of nightlife professional,
for one simple reason: It covers what they care about. The bright
and colorful glossy is packed with ideas, profiles, products and
most importantly, multi-page pictorials of the world’s most
exciting new clubs, with top-to-bottom disclosures of their sound,
lighting and video arsenals – not to mention their party promotion
tactics and interior design secrets. Known as the “industry
Talmud” (Denver Post, 3/14/04), Club Systems
promises instant and complete gratification for every nightclub
owner, manager, technician, designer, installer, promoter and DJ.

amps, projectors, lights and everything in between, all new and
hot. Plus corporate news, DJ spotlights and music updates.

dissecting his latest innovation or a club owner describing what
makes him tick, People always gets to the heart of a personality
and his unique road to success.
PLACES: Big clubs, small clubs, plain clubs, elegant
clubs: Club Systems loves them all, with full-color pictures, extensive
equipment lists and detailed stories about how each came to be.

and “walk-throughs” of new spaces with their creators.

across the globe, plus ideas and options for amping up your events.

forum for big and bit players to tell their stories or speak their
minds.
Circulation
With a controlled circulation of 20,000 club professionals and distribution
to major trade shows, no other magazine comes close to reaching
as much of the club
market — a readership responsible for more than one billion
in yearly purchases.
Club World Awards
Launched in 2003 but already the vanity prize of choice for the
club industry, the Club World Awards recognize nightlife greatness
in 16 categories. Nominees are selected by the staff of Club
Systems, and winners are determined by a panel of 10 expert
judges, using the most fudge-proof methodology in trade awards.
The annual ceremony is held in Miami in March. Contact us for ceremony
sponsorship information.

HIGHEST VISIBILITY: A balanced ad-to-edit ratio
combined with the best layout of any trade magazine assures your
ad gets a great location with high visibility.
“For me, the club industry was very
much about what was going on locally, in New York. I found out from
Club Systems that there are people all over the world putting
together really quality venues. Plus, it keeps me in-the-know: I
can check out the newest way to set up a sound system, what other
people are doing in terms of lighting, what other clubs look like.
Club Systems brings everything together, and gives the
business legitimacy. I read it every month, right when I get it.
I love it.”
— Benny Soto, promoter, 718 Sessions, New York
“I very much look forward to receiving Club Systems
every month. Not only does it feature lots of new products for our
industry, it also keeps me up to date on what my colleagues are
doing. It’s an invaluable
resource for my company.”
— Stephen Lieberman, president, SJ Lighting, Los Angeles
“I have been in the SLV contracting business for over
26 years and have never seen or read anything so focused on our
industry as Club Systems. Over the years there have been
many attempts from other publications, but nothing comes close.
Each month all of our installers
and designers are required to read it.”
— Karl Kieslich, president, Sound Stage Systems, Hamden,
