The International Sign Association (ISA) is gearing up for the annual ISA International Sign Expo®. As in years past, this event gives sign, print, and visual communications industry professionals a chance to browse and purchase everything they need to achieve success! Plus, it allows attendees to form meaningful connections with vendors and other potential partners. Once again, Erie Custom Signs will have a booth at ISA Sign Expo 2023, which will take place April 12-14 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

What to Do at ISA Sign Expo 2023

Every year, ISA works hard to host an unforgettable event for industry professionals. The organization strives to help attendees grow their businesses and advance their careers. Even those who’ve attended previous conventions come back year after year. That’s because there are always new products to see, new things to learn, and new people to meet. 

Here are the three main things attendees can do at ISA Sign Expo 2023…

1. Browse

There’s a reason the trade show is the most highly anticipated part of ISA’s annual expo. It allows attendees to browse a wide range of products and discover the latest innovations. Moreover, it helps sign and print professionals stay at the forefront of the industry. This year, the trade show will feature nearly 450 exhibitors showcasing everything from printing technology to LEDs. 

Erie Custom Signs will be set up at booth #925 on the trade show floor as a specialist in ADA and architectural signage. Team members from the Michigan-based business will be there to demonstrate how sign and print shop owners can benefit from a partnership. Those who stop by the booth will be able to see a selection of the business’s ADA sign packages up close. Attendees are also encouraged to ask questions and inquire about Erie Custom Signs’ exclusive wholesale portal.

The trade show floor will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, with hours limited to 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. 

2. Learn

At ISA Sign Expo 2023, attendees can also take advantage of ongoing training and education to help them stay competitive. In addition to pre-conference workshops held on Tuesday, this year’s event features more than 30 education sessions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. The sessions, led by industry thought leaders, are split up into the following topics:

• Design
• Digital Signage
• Emerging Trends
• Manufacturing
• Executive/Leadership
• Materials/Consumables
• Marketing
• Project Management
• Regulatory & Legal
• Sign Fundamentals
• Sales
• Workforce Development

Another unique learning opportunity is the Wrap Experience™, powered by ISA and The Wrap Institute. This interactive booth area will serve as the site of the Never Stop Learning Contest™, where competitors can test their wrap skills. On the Wrap N’ Learn Stage, trade show attendees can view product demonstrations and panel sessions. 

3. Network

Of course, ISA Sign Expo 2023 wouldn’t be complete without formal and informal networking opportunities. Although the entire event grants attendees the chance to meet, chat with, and potentially partner with industry professionals, some formal events are also scheduled.
