We also discussed the ISS Las Vegas Show briefly.

Masters of Success Mastermind

ISS Las Vegas Show update:
Have heard both good and bad from vendors about their results. Chris from Vapor told a colleague it was a fantastic show for him and have also heard other who said it was slow and hard to justify. Also asked a friend who was an attendee how it was. This is a long time screen printer who is also doing some sublimation and trust his opinion. He said that it was a waste of time and gas. He said the booths that were busy, were understaffed and the rest were staffed with Social Media Directors that were too busy posting on Twitter to talk to potential customers. He also said he doubted if he even bumps into one person while strolling the show.
