(Alexandria, VA) – With more than a month until doors open in New Orleans for ISPA EXPO 2014, 196 exhibitors have already contracted to occupy more than 113,700 square feet of exhibit floor space. This represents the largest number of exhibitors in the history of the event.
ISPA EXPO 2014 is the world’s only trade show dedicated to the mattress industry and will take place in New Orleans March 26 – 29. Exhibitors from around the world will showcase their latest innovations in machinery, components and services. ISPA EXPO also features relevant education and valuable networking, designed to provide distinct business insights and opportunities for attendees from across every sector of the industry.
“Right now, the mattress industry is highly focused on growth and innovation that helps manufacturers attract new customers, minimize costs, and improve production efficiencies,” said ISPA President Ryan Trainer. “I think our record-breaking numbers for this EXPO reflect the enthusiasm and optimism of participants from across our industry.”
Both the show floor and educational sessions will feature the best and brightest innovators and newcomers from the mattress industry, including more than 50 new exhibitors. Networking events, including an International Seminar and Reception, Welcome Reception, Women’s Network Breakfast and the ISPA Industry Breakfast featuring Luke Williams — leading speaker, educator, and consultant on innovation strategy, will provide opportunities for attendees to engage with business partners and colleagues from around the globe.
