Hey Lisa ... You'll find both shows informative, but they do have a different atmosphere. The ISS Vegas Expo, the industry's largest show, is very fast-paced and high-energy, with a lot happening both on and off the scene. The fall show is more intimate and relaxed. I've been told from people who are new to the industry that the fall show was a more comfortable venue for their "induction," as they could spend more time with speakers and exhibitors on a one-on-one basis. But both shows have phenomenal education and networking opportunities, and attendees are always welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend attending a conference, as it will give you insight to the business that you really can't get anywhere else. If you join us in Nashville, feel free to come by the ISS booth to ask questions and grab some info.
