SGIA or ISS

[xcelr8hard]

I have been wanting to go to a trade show and SGIA Las Vegas is coming up. I live in Az. so the trip to Long Beach or Vegas is close to the same drive time (I don't fly).
If you could only go to 1 show a year which one would you go to?
What are the differences I would find between the two?
If you care to give some tips on how to get the most out of these shows it would be appreciated.

Thanks
Butch

If you are more screen print, ISS
If you are more digital, and like Vegas, SGIA

SGIA is more for signs, digital printing, wraps, with a small screen print section, and ISS is basically all screen print / apparel decoration related.

Long Beach is cool as well.

ISS Long Beach is heavily focused on screen printing.  With a good dose of Embroidery and bling.

SGIA is primarily digital based with some screen printing.

If you are focused on screen printing and embroidery, then go to ISS Long Beach.
