You have one coming up in your neck of the woods (all things being relative) at the end of April. It’s not a large show by any stretch, but does allow for more in-depth talks with the various vendors that are in attendance. I was hoping to make the trip “up” there to the show this year, but I have committed myself to being on the other side of the States while the show is happening.
New England Sign Expo Massachusetts Sign Association Holiday Inn Boxborough Woods 242 Adams Place Boxborough, MA 01719
Tuesday, April 29th
And by all means plan to attend the USSC Sign World show in Atlantic City that Mark mentions. This show has grown to become one of the “majors” within the industry.

Sign Industry trade shows have their place, but there is nothing that compares to the excitement of a live Letterhead/PinHead Meet. You are in just the right place at just the right time.
Here's the info on a meet close to you.
Mass Mayhem 3 May 9, 10 & 11, 2003 Seekonk, Massachusetts Hosted by Mike, Jay and Deb (Zee) Szczoczarz
This will be a down to basics, grassroots meet and panel jam! The focus is on participation. No seminars are scheduled so as to leave it open to anyone and everyone sharing their own tips and tricks.

To all you wonderful people that responded to my question. In reguards to the MA meet. It sounds like a awesome time. But I have one huge concern. About 21/2 years ago I found out I am allergic to chemicals. I ended up in the hopsital with a swollen face, hives and had vertigo for a year. Since then I DO NOT get around chemicals. I have gone to just using vinyl only and when I airbrush I definetly use a mask. I only use metal signs now. When I looked at Steve's pictures I noticed a lot of painting going on. I can't be around frog juice, rapid tac, spray paint, etc. I don't want to be a pain at the party! But thank you to everyone that has been so nice. Maybe be I can just go to a show with no chemicals. You guys are awesome!!!!! Thank you, Stacy
