Lifetime Achievement awards Impressions
Expo has historically supported as part of
the Shop Talk program organized by the

the magazine's Impressions Industry Impact

industry players to be recognized.
" It would be hard to imagine a more
creative or tech-savy group of companies and
professionals than those making up today's
decorated apparel industry, " Cort says. " A
professional decorated apparel awards program
highlighting the creativity and hard work
that serves as the bedrock of the industry is
long overdue. "
