The International Sign Assn.’s (Alexandria, VA) International Sign Expo has been designated the 85th largest tradeshow in the nation by Tradeshow Week 200. Compiled annually by Tradeshow Week magazine, the list ranks U.S. trade expositions according to the net square feet of paid exhibit space. This is the seventh consecutive year the Expo has been on the list; last year the show ranked 103.

“We are thrilled that the sign industry’s leading trade show continues to show a strong and growing presence among the nation’s trade shows,” said ISA SVP Brian McNamara. “To be listed among so many other notable industries’ trade shows is truly an honor for ISA and an achievement for the industry.”

At this year’s show, nearly 18,000 people met in Las Vegas to experience the latest in technology, educational offerings and networking opportunities. The exhibit hall featured 500 companies, which staffed roughly 1,600 exhibit booths.
