Specialty imaging’s garment decoration community has never seen a show quite like the 2014 SGIA Expo （Las Vegas, October 22–24）。 When we say everything goes, and anything is possible, we mean it. From the show floor to the expert-led classic education sessions, and the exclusive Zones to the networking receptions and beyond, attendees will leave armed with the knowledge and know-how to elevate their imaging businesses.

Visit the sold-out trade show floor first thing Wednesday, where more than 500 exhibitors will showcase the latest decoration techniques, newest technologies and cutting-edge industry applications. And, hey, while you’re there, venture to The Garment Zone for a firsthand, in-depth look at garment decoration technologies where you’re sure to identify a solution that fits your needs.

Take a few steps off the show floor, and take in one of SGIA’s classic educational sessions. They’re presented by industry leading experts, on topics that matter to you, the garment decorator:

Your breakfast plans on Thursday morning have been made for you. Join keynoter Stephen Shapiro for “Innovate Where You Differentiate,” and discover why it is unwise to ask for ideas. Learn how to define challenges more clearly, and how to get better answers by asking better questions.

And no Expo experience is complete without a little networking. Chat with your colleagues, clients and potential customers on Reception Row before you hit the Strip. Seven community-building receptions ensure you’ll find a like mind, and a drink. Attendance is by invitation only.

Feeling competitive? This is Vegas, after all. Try your hand; submit your best work for SGIA’s esteemed Golden Image competition, or enter the lauded Product of the Year contest to have your equipment and supplies judged among the best of specialty imaging’s best.

“Specialty imaging” comprises digital imaging, screen printing and the many other imaging technologies SGIA members use, including those they’ll tap in the future. These are the imaging processes and technologies employed to create new products and to enhance existing products including point-of-purchase displays, printed electronics, membrane switches, signs, advertisements, garments, containers and vehicles. Make the most of your specialty imaging business.
