“ This year’s IGES show was the best I’ve experienced in the past few years. The new vendors added brought excitement to both venues, and we definitely wrote more while at the show this year. The accommodations were excellent and so convenient. It made the experience much more enjoyable and we were able to spend more time shopping rather than driving back and forth.”
