Timing and locations for the 2011 ASI Shows in Orlando, Dallas and Chicago will remain consistent with prior years, while the New York Show will move to March and the San Diego Show will move to May.  The new schedule is based on ASI member surveys and feedback from Show attendees.

The 2011 ASI Show schedule is:

Chicago:  Tuesday, July 19, through Thursday, July 21, at the McCormick Place Convention Center.  The most prominent show of the summer and the premier event in the Midwest. 

“Our five super-regional trade shows in 2011 focus on key markets during strategic times of the year,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI and president of The ASI Show.  “It’s more important than ever to meet these tough economic times head-on by attending trade shows, so you can network, learn, grow and invest in yourself and your business.” 

“Each year, we deliver the total package, complete with renowned keynote speakers, fun networking events, informative and relevant education sessions and two highly productive show days,” said Andrews.  “It’s certain that 2011 will prove no exception.”
