This combined event will take place at the, September 13 15, 2012. The Western States Sign Show Progress Through Partnerships, has been redesigned to meet the needs of exhibitors and attendees alike. The combination of the two events and the close proximity to one of the state s largest population bases is expected to boost attendance and provide an excellent value for your company and for your marketing dollars. The show format has been compacted, fun networking events added, and everyone will be staying at the show hotel with the goal of making this a truly holistic networking experience for exhibitors. This show has typically drawn strong attendance from as low as 700 in the worst of times to nearly 3,000, and that s just for the WSSC Sign Show. With the ISA Expo in Orlando in 2012, and many in the industry unable to travel, the WSSC board expects this show to once again attract strong attendance. The show will offer booth size spaces as well as tabletops to meet everyone s needs, and the exhibit value is enhanced by including one night s stay at the host hotel in the exhibit fee.
