Bar
On
Attendance
&
Achievements
April
3,
2005
(Las
Vegas,
NV)
TThe
electric
charge
of
the
International
Sign
Association
(ISA)
Expo
wasn't
the
only
thing
enticing
people
to
visit
Las
Vegas
in
late
March.
Equally
alluring
was
the
International
Convention
of
the
Sign
Biz
Network,
dubbed
"The
Reunion."
This
was
the
sixteenth
annual
Sign
Biz
Reunion
and
the
largest
to
date,
hosted
April
2-3,
2005
at
the
Flamingo
Las
Vegas
Resort
&
Casino.
The
collision
of
the
convention
and
the
world's
largest
sign
industry
trade
show
proved
to
be
a
powerful
combination
as
REUNION
2005
attracted
more
than
140
attendees,
and
a
host
of
high-quality
sponsoring
vendors
and
suppliers.
"I
was
very,
very
pleased
with
the
Reunion,"
says
Bill
Potts,
owner
of
a
Sign
Biz
Network
member
company,
Sign
Depot,
and
member
of
the
Network's
Advisory
Board.
"All
of
the
14
workshops
were
very
professionally
presented
with
extremely
useful
information.
I
especially
appreciated
the
powerful
presentation
on
how
to
prepare
for
retirement.
That
provided
a
framework
for
all
of
the
other
material
we
learned."
