Impressions - August 2015 - 6

from THE SHOW DIRECTOR
An Encore
Performance

a

s the temperatures rise across the country
this summer, we at the Imprinted Sportswear
Shows (ISS) are gearing up for an encore
collaboration. ISS Orlando, which will be held
Sept. 10-12, will once again be co-located with Surf
Expo, the industry's longest-running and largest board
sports and beach/resort lifestyle event.
There is a great synergy between ISS Orlando and Surf Expo, with crossovers
in the resortwear and gift sectors that are sure to bring additional business, leads
and networking to attendees and exhibitors for both shows. From beach transfers
on T-shirts to sublimated designs on surf boards, you will see everything on display
in this repeat collaboration.
As you may already know, ISS Orlando will feature the top manufacturers
in screen printing, embroidery, digital decorating and more. But you may not
know what Surf Expo has to offer our attendees and exhibitors in the following
four categories:
Resort: This category offers everything a vacationing consumer wants. It's the
most comprehensive collection in the resort trade show industry, including tees
and shorts, casual shirts, dresses, sarongs and batiks, jewelry, towels and footwear,
plus premiums and souvenirs, mementos and custom merchandise.
Boutique: These high-fashion and contemporary lines include resortwear, preppy
patterns, sundresses, high-end apparel, footwear and accessories.
Lifestyle: This is a curated collection of emerging and newly established brands
at the intersection of water, outdoor, style and music - all rooted in California
youth culture.
Coastal Gift: From hammocks to tabletops, and everything in between, enjoy
nicer gift items with a coastal flair.
Here is more of what you can expect at the 2015 ISS Orlando event:
* Industry leading exhibitors encompassing 20,000 square feet
* A variety of full-day pre-show conference workshops and 90-minute
conference seminars, led by top industry speakers
* Master Decorator certification when you take four of the six Master
Decorator seminars designed for established decorators or entrepreneurs
looking for new ways to build their businesses
* The opportunity to view the winners of the 2014 Impressions Awards
competition, which will be on display at the Impressions booth.
From the entire ISS and Impressions staff, thank you again for attending and
supporting all of our events.
