Kicking It Off

Nov 1, 2008

We're embarking on another great year for the Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS), and come January, we'll be heading out West for our first 2009 event, ISS Long Beach. In our 31st year, ISS is the premier decorated apparel trade show and the Long Beach event is known for kicking off the year with exciting product introductions. Don't miss your opportunity to see the vast array of product choices and take advantage of the abundant networking opportunities.

ISS Long Beach will be held Jan. 23-25, during which time decorators can shop for everything from apparel to equipment and supplies. The Impressions staff has developed a conference program with five pre-show workshops and 44 seminars that will offer a variety of educational topics from industry educators. This year's lineup includes 36 NEW sessions to make sure every facet of this diverse industry is covered in our comprehensive educational program.

Also, visit the Impressions booth to see the winners of the 2008 Impressions Awards Competition as well as the winners of the 2009 Impressions Awards Student Decorating Competition.
