Here’s what some of our members have to say about their experience at the ICMA EXPO

I come to these events because the education you get from the speakers is excellent. Visiting the exhibitors you see the latest technology and this year we have a large number of exhibitors including a lot of equipment, which is really interesting to see.

It’s nice to speak to so many who have the same common interest. l’ve learned a lot about cards, lots of different aspects I never knew about.

Liz Crow

I gain a lot of knowledge by working with vendors at ICMA’s events] as well as the unique opportunity to talk with a lot of the other manufacturers, so we are very friendly competitors I would say. Everyone who goes to the trouble of setting up a booth, I want to know what they are doing and why they are here.
