Hello All

I'm attending ISS Long Beach this year for the first time. Is it possible to cover all the booths within limited visiting hours?

If not what are the major things that visitor shouldn't miss?

Depends on how limiting your visiting hours are. How many hours do you have?

3 days show........

Ah, I thought you only had a few hours.

These shows are not as big as they use to be. A day is more than enough time.

We do it in about 3 hours. Just know what you are looking for and skip the rest.

Ha!, you might miss something new, cool, and useless.

Look at every booth, don't make eye contact, and stop if you see something fascinating.

Otherwise, in June you're going to come across something and remember you saw the solution at the show. And wish you had picked up that brochure.

We went today and it was great again this year . I was looking for new process for Sublimation on Black Cotton Blend but did not see it .

We don't know why some of the booths are even there. Some of the products just are not worth the time. Really, a clothing company with only a few items? Source them through the distributors.

We actually have a plan when we go to the show. It is like going to the grocery store, we don't go hungry. LOL.

This year we are focused on our 2 biggest sellers, Embroidery and Rhinestones. Actually, they have been big sellers for years but we are getting overwhelmed with orders so some automation may be in order.

We will be there Saturday afternoon which is a departure from our normal Sunday morning attendance. If anyone wants to trade notes or meet up we would be happy to do so. I like the Irish Pub across the street. , BTW, they have a great breakfast if you are there in the morning.

You can definitely cover it in the 3 days
