Impressions - April 2014 - 6
from the show director
Moving Into
Music City
t
he decorated apparel industry is booming in
2014, a fact evident in the results from our recent
Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) events
in Long Beach, Calif., and Atlantic City, N.J. Both
exceeded expectations and were our largest shows in
five years in their respective markets.
We are now off to Nashville, Tenn. As we gear up for our first year in this
market, we have received great feedback from our customers and supporters. The
Music City Center, a new, state-of-the-art facility located in downtown Nashville,
will house a great mix of decorators and industry products during ISS Nashville,
which will be held May 8-10.
With more than 16,000 net square feet of floor space filled with exhibitors
showcasing their products, you will find what you are looking for at ISS Nashville.
Our staff has done a fantastic job of making each regional ISS event 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.
From the Midwest to the Southeast markets, ISS Nashville is your best opportunity to stay current on market trends, learn new technologies, gain inspirational
ideas and enhance your business productivity.
Here is what you can expect at the 2014 ISS Nashville show:
* More than 87 exhibitors (15 of which are new) as of press time
* A comprehensive conference program containing 24 seminars throughout
the show, in addition to three workshops on May 8
* The opportunity to view the winners of the 2013 Impressions Awards
competition, which will be on display at the Impressions booth.
The ISS Master Decorator Series was a huge success last year and we're taking
it to the next level in 2014 with ISS Master Decorator Series 2.0, an all-new sixtrack series teaching methods for the apparel decorating processes. Starting with a
basic art class, each course is designed to use the same piece of artwork to create
a finished product via screen printing, embroidery, sublimation or heat printing
applications. 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 actually trying the decoration method. Attend four of the six sessions and receive your ISS
"Master Degree" Certificate of Completion.
From the entire ISS and Impressions staff, thank you again for attending and
supporting all of our events.
