Objectives
The Tiger Business Lounge has a joint objective. It promotes public support for the festival by making the (Rotterdam) business community more involved. In addition, the TBL generates extra income for the festival.

Target Group
The Tiger Business Lounge is aimed at companies in the Rotterdam region, and at the numerous companies that take an economic interest in Rotterdam. Privileges for members of the Tiger Business Lounge Members can enjoy the extensive package of services tailored to their specific wishes, if required. Members enjoy the following advantages:

The opportunity to exclusively receive local or foreign contacts and organize hospitality activities during the festival. The number of requests for receptions and meetings like these has risen above the organization capacity of the festival. IFFR has therefore decided to offer these services exclusively, at cost price, to companies or institutions that are somehow related to the festival.

A meeting may be organized as follows:
17.00: Welcome guests at one of the festival locations, usually de Doelen or the Rotterdamse Schouwburg, including drinks and snacks. If desired, one of the festival employees may introduce the festival and the programme, the IFFR organization and its history.
18.00: Buffet at the same location, or dinner in the festival restaurant at de Doelen.
19.45: A hostess will guide you and your guests to the screening.
20.00: Start of the screening; afterwards you may choose to discuss the film at a private location, or to enjoy the unique festival atmosphere. The possibilities for screenings, number of films, time and place of course, may be discussed and adjusted.

In addition, IFFR offers:
Invitations for the official opening of the festival
Invitations for the closing film and closing party
Admission to personally selected films
Presence of company information in various festival productions or publications
Admission to special reservations services to easily obtain free tickets
A selection of recommended films, including brief introductions to the films Preview of a festival film, or a film from a previous edition, in the non-festival period.

During this meeting you will have plenty possibilities to meet other TBL members.
