East to Midwest

Aug 1, 2008

Just back from our show in New England, we're heading back to the Midwest for ISS Schaumburg, to be held Aug. 7-9 in Schaumburg, Ill. This is your opportunity to shop for everything from the latest in blank apparel to apparel decorating equipment and supplies. You'll also network with peers and suppliers, and gain decorating insight through our comprehensive conference program developed by Impressions editors.

Additionally, the Promotional Products Association Intl. (PPAI) is co-locating with ISS to present its PPAI Marketshows workshop program. The four free classes will introduce apparel professionals to the rest of the $18.6 billion promotional products industry.

The four sessions include: "Promotional Products Demystified: Questions Answered, the Industry's Secrets Revealed;" "How to Make Promotional Products a Money-Making Part of Your Business Model;" "How to Become a Professional Promotional Products Consultant;" and "Comparing Advertising Media — Trends Spell 'Promotional Products.'"
