I\u2019m very excited our nation\u2019s 43rd<\/sup> president is sharing his insights and experiences at this week\u2019s ASI Show in Dallas<\/a> during what is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. After all, Bush served two terms during the most tumultuous times in recent history, from 9\/11 to the Iraq war and global financial crisis. Love him or leave him, an opportunity to see a president in person is not to be missed, so I hope you\u2019ve signed up for Thursday\u2019s presentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Understandably, security will be tight, so if you\u2019re coming be certain to bring your official show-issued badge and photo ID. Otherwise, you won\u2019t get in.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope everyone traveling from the snow-packed East Coast, like so many of us from ASI, arrive safely and without too much delay. The president\u2019s talk is just one of the many highlights at the Dallas show, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Hall F, Tuesday, February, 4 through Thursday, February. 6.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re expecting 515 exhibitors (including 65 suppliers new to Dallas) and over 3,000 attendees. The 18 distributor sales meetings on tap include Counselor<\/em> Top 40 distributor Staples Promotional Products (asi\/120601), which is bringing 125 of their top account executives.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s Education Day features 8 tracks and 51 sessions, with all sessions qualifying for points toward the ASI Certification Program<\/a>. That day\u2019s free lunch is \u201cMeet the Expects,\u201d which resembles a speed networking session, with designated experts leading discussions among rotating sets of attendees. I\u2019ll be there, and would love to see you. First come, first served.<\/p>\n

Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. ASI\u2019s own Joe Haley conducts a live version of his popular \u201cJoe Show,\u201d featuring dozens of cool, new products from suppliers. That night, you can kick up your heels at the Gala Celebration at Gilley\u2019s<\/a>, the honky tonk made famous by the movie \u201cUrban Cowboy.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if you haven\u2019t already downloaded it, please stop by an ASI booth for a demo of the visual search feature now available in ESP Web<\/a> and ESP Mobile<\/a>\u2122<\/sup>. Distributors can upload images to ESP\u00ae<\/sup> for an instant scan for similar items in the industry\u2019s largest and most comprehensive product database. As always, the app for Android<\/a>, iPhone and iPad<\/a> is available free to authorized distributors who are ESP subscribers.<\/p>\n
