Customers can participate in the "Customers Come 1st" promotion by visiting HID Global booth #2919 at ASIS and submitting their ideas for new secure identity features and solutions. Either written or video format submissions are accepted at the booth and all submissions will be uploaded to hidglobal.com where website visitors will cast their votes. The customer entries with the most votes will be featured in the company's next wave of the "I Want" advertising campaign in 2010.

To encourage early submissions, the first 250 customers to visit the HID Global booth and submit their ideas will receive a free HID Global "I Want" T-shirt. If spotted wearing the "I Want" during the first day of ASIS 2009 (September 21), customers are entered into a random drawing to win a pair of VIP box seat tickets to the Los Angeles Angels vs. New York Yankees games on September 21 and 22.
