We've never done ASI - but I am curious how many here actually go to ASI or PPIA and setup booths to advertise their services?  Anyone?  Which one is better ASI or PPAI (as a vendor)?

We do work for several folks across the country that are ASI or PPAI vendors (working with ad agencies etc..), but we have never pursued doing a booth or anything and would like to hear from anyone that has and their experiences.

We are actually an ASI distibutor and used to go to the shows not to solicit business but to contact manufacturers. With the internet and all thats not as necessary. From what I'm told there are far more blank distributors showing than actual printers. My advise would be to walk a show and get a feel for whats going on before renting a booth.

Yes there are definitely more blank garment booths than printers. This is our first time exhibiting at an ASI show, but last time we attended and there were a lot of people there and a good number of booths.

I will be in Dallas on the 8th at the airport for about an hour.  Anyone want to stop by before I head on another plane down to the border.
