IRgA and ISA "co-locate" their conventions and trade-shows in Vegas in 2011

I view this as "good news" for reprographers.......

IRgA Co-Locates with ISA Sign Expo 2011 at Mandalay Bay

The International Sign Association (ISA) has partnered with the International Reprographic Association (IRgA) to provide its attendees and exhibitors increased value in one central location. The co-location will provide exposure to vertical markets that have historically not integrated.

"ISA always strives to develop opportunities that create a win-win scenario for everyone," said Lori Anderson, president & CEO, ISA. "ISA has spent this year looking for ways to help unify the visual communication industry. It was only natural that IRgA and ISA work together to help increase value to our members, attendees and exhibiting community. We look forward to additional opportunities over the coming months to serve as the umbrella to the industry we are so fortunate to serve."

The 2011 co-location will provide an expanded platform for ISA and IRgA attendees and exhibitors to network, attend expert-led educational sessions, and visit an even more robust trade show floor all in one location and at a reduced cost.

"The IRgA is excited to offer its attendees and vendors an opportunity for two shows with one trip," said Steve Bova, executive director, IRgA. "Vendors will be able to leverage their sales efforts by networking with reprographers at the IRgA event. Reprographers will be able to attend the International Sign Expo and discover more about the world of color and new revenue opportunities. While the ISA and IRgA events will be separate, we are all part of one big industry. Connecting in this manner makes sense."
