IT'S Impressions Expo time! Finally! Rebranding the decorated-apparel
industry's premier trade show for 2020 and beyond was no small task.
Nearly a year in the making - entailing meetings and more meetings
- we came up with exciting new ideas to enact.
Fortunately, you'll see these changes at Impressions Expo Long
Beach 2020. There will be so much to see and do at this one-of-a-kind
event. The largest of its kind - building on 42 years as the Imprinted
Sportswear Shows - Impressions Expo has plenty of opportunities for
networking, education, new-product peeks and general camaraderie
with peers. Those hallway conversations often lead to new business
or mutually beneficial partnerships.
Don't miss the opportunity to elevate your knowledge by attending
Impress U (the revamped conference program), which offers opportunities
to strengthen your decorating skills and business acumen. There
are nearly 50 new seminars and 12 workshops from which to choose.
The show floor will include the On-Site Seminar program with several
45-minute sessions designed to broaden your horizons while you rest
your feet. Additionally, The Ink Kitchen's Shop Talk series will
feature an array of unique speakers addressing different topics.
Don't forget to visit the Long Beach Convention Center's arena,
which will include more exhibitors and their latest products. That's
also where you'll find the Impressions booth showcasing winners of
the 2019 Impressions Awards competition for the first time. Peruse
the champions and see the best decorating the industry has to offer
in 12 categories.
Since everyone loves a party, we will be hosting a happy hour Friday
from 4 p.m.-5 p.m. in the Shop Talk area in the arena. Come grab a
cold one, munch on some snacks and meet a few new friends. We look
forward to seeing you there.
