Search Me! Virtual Trade Show, Buyer’s Guide Combine Forces
Fairfax, Virginia — Now you can find what you need on SGIA’s Virtual Trade Show and the SGIA Buyers Guide in one single, powerful search. Head to SGIA.org and its VTS and Buyer’s Guide all year long — whenever you’re hunting for your supplies and equipment — then tap it to plan your time at SGIA ’05 (New Orleans, September 28October 1). You can search by keyword or supplier name.
By itself, the VTS has long been a showcase of SGIA exhibitors. Each virtual booth has up to five windows available for vendors who show at SGIA Convention & Exposition. The Buyer’s Guide, on the other hand, has always been a listing of SGIA supplier members — and searchable by company name, product type and keywords.
The search function continues to spotlight SGIA exhibitors, but searches add non-exhibiting supplier members to the mix. The result cuts work for site visitors and virtual exhibitors. Visitors only have to search a single location, and exhibitors update their product and contact information in one online location.
All SGIA supplier members may post contact information and denote keywords in the Buyers Guide. Search results will include links to the VTS booth if the supplier will exhibit at SGIA ’05. All results provide contact information and links to corporate sites, if available. VTS booths boil down the information you’ll find in a corporate site, with up to five pages: “Overview,” “Products,” “[VTS] Show Specials,” “What’s New” and “Contact Information.”
Learn more about promoting your business at the VTS or the SGIA Buyer’s Guide by contacting Betsy Peno: tech@sgia.org or 703.359.1316. To exhibit at SGIA ’05, contact SGIA’s Convention Department: convention@sgia.org or 703.359.1322.
SGIA is Leading a New Generation of Imaging Professionals — “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, signs, advertisements, garments, containers, and vehicles. To make the most of your specialty imaging business, take full advantage of SGIA.org and experience the specialty graphic imaging industry first-hand at SGIA ’05 (September 28October 1, New Orleans, Louisiana).
