Hello all,
I am interested in any websites or threads that would inform me of any trade shows for the 2007 season. Also, are most of the trade shows just about equipment or do they cover numerous things such as tips for starting out, marketing, dealing with suppliers etc...
Any response will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Shawn
I would suggest you attend a Iss show and the great garment graphics show. You will find numerous threads on these shows. Good luck and best wishes. ... JB
Thanks to all! It was only after I had posted that I went on to read a request for the same thing and saw where replies had talked about the ISS shows.
I am located in Missouri. TOO much going on to make Atlantic city but I plan on hitting one of the shows this year for sure.
As for the great garment graphics show, it sounds interesting. I will have to look for a web site.
There is going to be a small show in St. Charles, Missouri this week by NNEP - National Network of Embroidery Professionals. Not sure how far away it is for you, but might be something you would be interested in. Hope it helps.
the best industry show out there is SGIA. ISS is good yet has been getting smaller every year. SGIA - Specialty Graphic Imaging Association
I believe printwear has a show as well as SWF.
I have started a new Clothing line. I have men's Women's and toddler graphic tees. what would be the best trade show for us to attend this fall?

Thanks to everyone for the good information. Can anyone reccommend a good trade show to attend in southern California? Also, should I worry about copyrighting/trademarking my brand/design before attending a trade show?
