Impressions - June/July 2013 - (Page 6)

from the show director ImprInted sportswear shows 2013 Iss Las Vegas August 4-6 w Making Vegas Connections e’ve now had three great Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) events this year. Whether you were able to attend our ISS events in Long Beach, Calif., Atlantic City, N.J., or Orlando, Fla., you will agree that the decorated apparel industry is booming right now. Where will you see us next? The entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas! As I write this column, I am looking out at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip, and all I see is opportunity. With travelers flocking here from around the globe, Las Vegas provides the perfect backdrop for you to learn how to run a successful decorated apparel business. From T-shirts to coffee mugs, Las Vegas tourists are here to spend money and we want to provide you with the top-of-the-line equipment and educational opportunities to capitalize on the many ways your business can profit. ISS Las Vegas will feature the top manufacturers in screen printing, embroidery, sublimation and more. Mark your calendar to join us Aug. 4-6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and we will make sure you have the opportunity to see the newest that decorated apparel industry has to offer. As a bonus, ISS Las Vegas will coincide with ASD Las Vegas, an event that brings the world’s widest variety of merchandise together in one efficient consumer-goods trade show. Loaded with quality choices at every price point, this well-established trade event continues to grow, attracting tens of thousands of loyal attendees from every retail and distribution channel seeking new suppliers. Here is what you can expect at the 2013 ISS Las Vegas show: • Industry-leading exhibitors encompassing 15,000 square feet of trade show floor space. • In addition to the exposition, ISS Las Vegas offers a variety of full-day preshow conference workshops and 90-minute conference seminars, led by top industry speakers. • Earn a certificate of completion when you take four of the six Master Decorator seminars designed for established decorators or entrepreneurs looking for new ways to build their businesses. • The opportunity to view the winners of the 2012 Impressions Awards competition, which will be on display at the Impressions booth. From the entire ISS and Impressions staff, thank you again for attending and supporting all of our events.
