ISRI has released this postcard for the 2009 Convention & Exposition:

It was circulated during the Board & Committee meetings in Washington, D.C., June 24-27.

From the May/June 2008 issue of Scrap.

ISRI pulled out all the stops—and blew away all the records—at its 20th-anniversary convention, taking the industry and its members into heady, uncharted territory.

Wow. That's the best way to sum up ISRI's 2008 convention and exposition, which rewrote the history books in virtually every way. For starters, the event—held in Las Vegas in April—set a new record of 5,762 attendees, obliterating the previous record of 4,285 people set in 2006. It also was the most international ISRI convention, with attendees from the United States and 50 other countries—from Algeria to Vietnam. This year's exposition showcased the greatest number of exhibitors (209), and they occupied the greatest number of booths (287) as well as the largest equipment-display space ever, more than 44,000 square feet. In sum, the 2008 ISRI convention took a quantum leap forward, carrying the association's signature event—and its attendees—to a whole new level.
