It’s often said that an event like ISA International Sign Expo® puts the power of connection at the forefront. You never know who you might meet walking the trade show floor, sitting in an education class or even waiting in line for a coffee.
But with ISA INSTALL, the connections are intentional. This unique event puts installers in front of national sign companies—those who hire installers to provide services across the country—in a speed networking style event. It’s a successful formula for both sides: Most participants in 2022 said they were contacted about potential work within a few weeks of the event.
Installers and national sign company representatives get five minutes to meet one-on-one, making a powerful initial connection. In all, installers will get to meet with senior representatives from at least 12 national sign companies. While the list of participating national companies is still being confirmed for 2023, see the list of 2022 participants, a veritable who’s who of the top national sign companies.
To make the event run even more smoothly, nationals are provided attendee profiles before the event, allowing both parties to make the most of the five minutes allotted. Each participating installer can send up to three representatives for one low cost.
ISA INSTALL grew out of the always popular Local-National Sign Company Networking Event, held at ISA Sign Expo for many years. During the pandemic, the one-on-one matchmaking event was born in a virtual setting, allowing companies to continue making these valuable connections. Based on feedback from participants who liked the one-on-one connections made, ISA Install was created as an in-person event.
Install will occur on two days, with installers selecting the one that best suits their schedule—Wednesday, April 12 or Thursday, April 13.
ISA INSTALL sold out in 2022 and is likely to do so again in 2023. So jump in on this one-of-a-kind business-building event.
