The Sign Industry Convenes at 2016 Sign Expo

The ISA International Sign Expo 2016 will be held April 20-23, 2016, at the Orange County Convention Center, South Building, in Orlando, FL. This year’s theme is “Let’s Get Graphic” and, get this — a new, daily drawing of up to $10,000 will boost the incentive for sign and graphics shops to go home with new printing equipment. Check it out!

The Intl. Sign Assn. (ISA) Sign Expo 2016 has announced that, through March 9, registration for the Expo includes free tradeshow passes and discounted educational session tickets.
