By Mike Shabluk | March 8, 2024
It’s that time again—the International Sign Association (ISA) will be hosting its annual conference and trade show from April 10 to 12 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Sign and print industry professionals from around the globe are looking forward to this year’s event. Erie Custom Signs is especially eager to participate, and the team is already gearing up. As one of the show’s exhibitors, the Michigan-based sign company will be set up at booth #2737 to showcase products and connect with attendees.
What ISA Sign Expo 2024 Has Available
Every year, the ISA strives to create an event where attendees can find everything they need to be successful in their careers. And this year is no different! The theme of ISA Sign Expo 2024 is “No Limits,” promising next-level connections, boundless innovation, and unparalleled possibilities. Those who attend the show can expect a schedule jam-packed with fun and interesting activities.
Here are some of the highlights…
- Educational Offerings
For sign and print professionals, continual education is key to staying ahead of the game. That’s why the ISA gives attendees the chance to learn about best practices and new developments. At this year’s event, the ISA has several educational offerings to take advantage of.
- Education Sessions
Powered by the Sign Research Foundation™, these sessions are led by industry thought leaders you can trust. And with more than 30 education sessions available, you’re sure to find at least one worth attending. Some of the topics to be covered include ADA sign installation, adhesives, sign engineering, digital display service, and wrap business growth. However, there are many more listed on the schedule.
- Bootcamps & Pre-Conference Workshops
For more comprehensive learning, you can sign up for one of ISA Sign Expo 2024’s workshops or bootcamps. On the Tuesday before the conference begins, there will be a full-day Signage Bootcamp and a Business Bootcamp for Wrap Professionals. During the conference, there will be a half-day Sales Bootcamp and an Illuminated Signage Bootcamp.
These interactive workshops entail in-depth discussions, demonstrations, and more to improve your skills in different areas.
- Learning Lounge
While you walk around the showroom floor, you’ll also have the chance to learn. In the ISA’s Learning Lounge at booth #1770, there will be free 30-minute sessions offered throughout the show. You can stop by to discover business strategies, fabrication techniques, and much more.
- Never Stop Learning Contest™
The Never Stop Learning Contest™ allows participants to develop and show off their wrapping skills. Hosted by The Wrap Institute and held in The Wrap Experience area, this contest is available to beginners and experts alike. Competitors take part in workshops and wrap a variety of objects. At the end of each round, the team that answers the most questions correctly and completes the highest quality wrap will win a prize.
- Networking Opportunities
ISA Sign Expo 2024 is expected to have quite a turnout, with sign companies, design firms, nonprofit/public organizations, and sign buyers in attendance. That means there’s a massive opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and potential customers. To facilitate networking, the ISA has scheduled formal and informal activities, including ISA Rocks: The Industry Party and Women Leading the Industry.
- Industry Discovery
Lastly, ISA Sign Expo 2024 will have hundreds of exhibitors on the showroom floor. The trade show will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, allowing attendees to browse new products, meet with vendors, and find great deals. It’s the most highly anticipated part of the event, and for good reason!
