Industry Leaders Gather in Denver to Discuss Future of Industry
Profit margins. Attracting and retaining skilled workers. Effective management of millennials. These are hot button issues impacting the sign and visual communications industry – and key leaders are not taking it lying down. They are hitting it head-on by attending ISA Converge: Engaging the Thought Leaders of the Industry last week in Denver, Colo. ISA Converge 2015 brought together an exclusive group of 120 of the top national sign company, supplier and distributor member companies to discuss, debate, analyze, forecast and change the future of the sign and visual communications industry. To see the impressive list of attending companies, visit www.signs.org/converge.
The changes will not be immediate, but that’s the whole purpose of the event – to develop the solutions, ideas and opportunities for future action to ensure the sign and visual communications industry continues to experience growth and vibrancy.
Next year’s event is scheduled for June 21–23 in St. Louis, Mo. For more information on ISA Converge and the requirement for attending, please contact Kelly Maquire at [email protected] or (703) 778-8129.
