“Now more than ever, awards and recognition professionals should plan to attend the ARA show,” says ARA President Glenn Beckworth. “This year has been tough on everyone. The ARA show is a great place to take a break, reconnect with colleagues and refresh your energy. Between the educational seminars, networking opportunities, and product displays, attendees will take back creative ideas and motivational strategies to share with employees/customers,” he added.
This year’s event, billed as THE Show of the industry, features the largest show floor, trends in product innovations, a dynamic education program and resources specifically for the awards/recognition, as well as the engraving, sublimation, ad specialty, giftware and signage industries.
Over 4000 attendees worldwide will be on hand to see what’s new and selling from more than 200 leading companies that will be exhibiting throughout the show. Education sessions will be held on February 23; the show floor will be open February 24-26.

“Traditionally our exit surveys have shown that over 85% of attendees and exhibitors of the ARA International Awards Market have an excellent or good show,” said Beckworth. “Both members and non-members consistently tell us that this is by far the best trade show in the awards, engraving, and recognition industry. We’re putting together a great 2010 show that will meet or exceed these standards.”
