I went last year and was very disappointed in that there were not more than small handful of booths geared to textiles. I would say 85%+ was digital printers for signage and sign supply company's. You may want to take a good look at the booth listings and see if they are what you will be expecting to see when you arrive.

Have fun... I Love Las Vegas!

I'm going to the ISS in Vegas in August. It’s on a Monday - Wednesday. Kind of strange it’s not on the weekend but it works for me. Its closer to me then Long beach. Anyone going to that one. I am buying beers sunday night.

I last did SGIA in 2006 and it was in Vegas. Like T Shirt Farmer said, it was not geared towward textiles even back then. If anyone finds the $ I left in Vegas during my last visit please let me know. :)

Ya know, I always laugh at myself about my trip to vegas a few years back. I went to the MAGIC apparel/retail show. In the evenings, the guy I was with would want to go to the slot machines. I would go with and watch people. I don't have a thing against gambling except for the abuse of it...but I never dropped a penny in one machine. Kinda proud of that. Resisted the urge or more accurately, I never had the urge. If I did, I probably could resist. LOL.

I plan on it. Not sure yet, but it's 50/50 right now . . .

Ticketmaster! :)


sorry . . .  could not resist! As an SGIA member last year I just registered for the event and did not have to pay anything. Not sure if you are a non-member, maybe somebody from here can send you an invite.

If I can take the whole week off from work and my biz to ride my moto 5 hours to go to vegas.. you can make it one day. 1st beer is on me this time, just no shirt price negotiations at the bar this time.  ;D
