Impressions - June/July 2011 - (Page 6)

FROM THE SHOW DIRECTOR ISS Focus: Summer 2011 ummer has always been my favorite season — with long, warm, sunny days, green trees and blooming ﬂowers! There is nothing better to me than enjoying outdoor activities with family and friends. While our weather has changed, our workload has not! The ISS team is working hard to ensure our fall shows will be an enormous success for you. The next stop for the Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) is Atlanta, so mark your calendars for Sept. 8-10 and join us at the Cobb Galleria Centre. ISS Atlanta is the only fall event in the Southeast that offers you the chance to keep current on market trends, learn new technologies, gain inspirational ideas and enhance your business productivity. No matter if your preferred method of apparel decoration is screen printing, embroidery, foil or sublimation, you will ﬁnd all the knowledge you need at ISS Atlanta. Further your education by taking advantage of one of our ISS conferences or workshops! If you sign up early, an individual seminar is only $25. Any information you need regarding our educational program — or the ISS shows in general — can be found at issshows.com. However, we welcome you to call us directly so that we can answer your questions personally. Our individual contact information can be found to the right of this column. Jeanine, Erin, Sarah and I are here to assist you in any way we can. Use your smartphone to scan the QR code below. It will take you directly to our ISS Atlanta registration link. Registration is free for this event if you sign up before Sept. 6. Play booth bingo and you can be eligible to win a $100 AMEX gift card each day during show hours. Bingo cards will be available at the ISS Atlanta registration desk. Once ISS Atlanta stages, we will grab our cowboy boots and hats and head to Ft. Worth, Texas! Our entire staff at ISS and Impressions look forward to our fall shows and hope that you enjoy and learn from our event. We will see you Sept. 8-10 in Atlanta and Sept. 29-Oct. 1 in Ft. Worth.
