Sign Biz, Inc., founder of the largest non-franchise sign chain in the US, again produced a fresh, innovative and relevant program for business owners and their staff at their annual Sign Biz International Convention, dubbed “The Reunion,” hosted in Orlando, FL March 28-30th. Now in its 18th year, the Sign Biz Convention took the “FAST FORWARD” theme to heart, and created a series of workshops that looked at current realities of the economy, and the opportunities for growth in the coming 12 months.

A series of sixteen “OwnerShare Workshops” was developed over a four month period prior to this convention, capitalizing on an instant “bulletin board” system. Input from all Sign Biz Network Members was transmitted instantly via a private message posting system. This system allowed Sign Biz Inc and the Advisory Board to focus on the needs of the Members when building a new agenda around workshops to address particular issues. “Not only did we raise the bar on the number of workshops delivered, we also spent months in preparation for the technology side of the event.

We saved a few trees here!” explained Young.
