Impressions - October/November 2012 - (Page 8)

from the show director Planning for 2013! hank you for your support of the seven Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) events in 2012. Our schedule for the year is now complete, and the ISS staff hopes you were able to take advantage of all of the incredible networking and sourcing opportunities. Throughout this year, ISS has hosted successful shows in Long Beach, Calif.; Orlando, Fla.; Atlantic City, N.J.; Columbus, Ohio; Las Vegas; Atlanta; and Ft. Worth, Texas. During these events, we’ve spoken to hundreds of exhibitors and suppliers that anticipate the market is on the rebound. I, too, am optimistic that our industry will continue to grow and prosper in the year ahead. As always, our primary goal is to provide an exceptional and unparalleled show experience. As your business partner, ISS is here to help you succeed. The conversations we had with you this year have helped us make some important decisions for the upcoming year. You’ve told us that with so many great industry events in the first quarter, it’s been difficult for both exhibitors and attendees to balance their trade show schedules. We listened — so mark your calendars to be at ISS Orlando, which will now be held April 11-13, 2013! The decision to reschedule this event to take place in the second quarter will provide all of us with a little more time in the first quarter. Industry veterans know that ISS events enable attendees to learn emerging industry trends, make important purchasing decisions and gain inspirational ideas that will set you apart from the rest. If you have not joined us recently, I welcome you to experience the ISS environment that will enable you to position your business for success.

We genuinely enjoy our industry friends and really do want to hear from you. Give us your feedback so that we can continue to improve! The entire ISS and Impressions staff appreciates your being with us in 2012!
