Each year, TSE honors the 50 fastest-growing shows in three categories: net square feet of paid exhibit space, number of exhibiting companies, and total attendance. Some shows were the fastest-growing in multiple categories, resulting in 91 unique shows receiving the honors. ASI Show Chicago was honored for increasing its net square feet of exhibit space. Two trade shows produced by Screen Printing parent company ST Media Group’s subsidiary Hospitality Media Group, BDNY (Boutique Design New York) and BD West (Boutique Design West), also earned rankings.

ASI Show Chicago celebrated its 15th anniversary in that city in 2014 with more than 750 exhibitors. Total distributor attendance was more than 4300, from firms based in 42 states and eight countries, an increase over 2013 of 3.5 percent. In addition, the event was the debut for a partnership with ST Media Group to showcase decoration and signage vendors in a pavilion on the show floor.

Registration is now open for the 2015 ASI Show Chicago, which will once again feature the Graphics Central pavilion highlighting sign making, apparel and promotional products decoration, and digital printing.
