Impressions - January 2015 - 6

from THE SHOW DIRECTOR
A West Coast
Kickoff

he New Year is ﬁnally upon us, which means it's
time for our Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS)
event in Long Beach, Calif., the largest event
dedicated to the decorated apparel industry.
Every year, thousands of leaders in screen printing,
embroidery and digital decorating gather at this event
to meet face to face and discuss new trends and products for the upcoming year. Whether you come to purchase new equipment or
order supplies for your decorated apparel shop, manufacturers and suppliers from
around the world are all under one roof at ISS Long Beach.
This year marks our largest event in Long Beach in seven years. With more than
104,000 net square feet of products on display, you will ﬁnd everything you need.
Our staff has done a fantastic job of making ISS your premier decorated apparel
destination and our goal is to continue that success. As trends change within our
industry, I want to make sure ISS is your one stop for networking opportunities,
new products and innovation.
ISS Long Beach is your best opportunity to stay up to date on market trends,
learn new technologies, gain inspirational ideas and enhance your business productivity. Here is what you can expect at the 2015 ISS Long Beach event:
* As of press time, more than 360 exhibitors, 37 of which are new
* A comprehensive conference program containing 43 seminars throughout
the show and ﬁve workshops on Jan. 15
* The opportunity to view the winners of the 2014 Impressions Awards competition, which will be on display at the Impressions booth.
You'll also have a unique opportunity to broaden your knowledge and skill
sets, and learn new ways to expand and increase proﬁtability. The ISS Master
Decorator Series has been a huge success and we will continue to enhance the
series to help you grow your business. If you didn't participate last year to learn
about methods used for each of the apparel decorating processes, you still have
the opportunity to earn your "Master Degree" Certiﬁcate of Completion. This sixtrack seminar is designed for established decorators looking to expand or diversify
their offerings, or start-up entrepreneurs who are not sure which process to build
a business around.
Attendees are encouraged to take one class to ﬁnd out more about a speciﬁc
decorating technique, or multiple courses to learn about decorating topics of interest. Some classes include hands-on training for the added advantage of trying your
hand at the decoration.
From the entire ISS and Impressions staff, thank you again for attending and
supporting all of our events.
