Each spring, ISA takes the pulse of the sign, graphics and visual communications industry to assess where the industry is growing and what obstacles are in the way. The 2018 survey is now open.

SmithCraft Custom Architectural Signs (Arizona) and Trav-Ad Signs (Alabama) will be participating and sharing their stories about how their businesses and their employees have been affected by the new tax law.

Tax cuts drive growth, but tariff impact could be felt. The outlook for 2018 remains strong for all segments except end markets for architectural signage.

ISA International Sign Expo 2018 closes with attendance topping 20,387—making it the largest ISA Sign Expo in Orlando and one of the largest in ISA Sign Expo history. The trade show floor was the largest-ever footprint for the event. "Significant weather issues throughout the country affected air travel, but attendees found a way to get here anyway," said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. "And they came in a mood to buy. Exhibitors reported that sales were outstanding. This reinforces that ISA International Sign Expo is the only industry event connecting sign and print companies with vendors who can help them capitalize on the expansions in the sign, graphics and visual communications industry." The show continues to grow and expand. The previous record for Orlando attendance was set in 2016, and this year, it nearly eclipsed the 2017 attendance in Las Vegas. ISA International Sign Expo alternates between Orlando and Las Vegas, with the West Coast show typically slightly larger.
