ISRI's 2008 Convention and Exposition Exhibition Hall Sold Out
Largest expo in ISRI history; 2009 sales begin in March
Exhibit space at the 2008 ISRI Convention and Exposition is sold
out, breaking records for both the amount of exhibit hall space and number of exhibitors. The ISRI convention runs April 6-10 with the Exposition, the largest scrap recycling industry trade show and exposition, set for April 8 and 9 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas.
"This is the earliest complete sell-out ISRI has ever had," said Chuck Carr, ISRI Vice President for Member Services. "The overwhelming response by exhibitors to participate at this year's show demonstrates that this is the industry's must-do event of the year."
