I\u2019m expanding into the paper products part of the industry, and I came looking for new suppliers, which I found. I recommend ASI Dallas to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Education participation was strong, with 837 distributors attending classes Wednesday, including \u201cThe Industry\u2019s Biggest Speed Networking Session.\u201d All sessions were eligible for credits toward BASI (Bachelor of Advertising Specialty Information) and MASI (Master of Advertising Specialty Information) certification. To date, over 15,000 industry professionals have registered for classes necessary to obtain the industry certification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe in-depth education and special events continue to elevate both the quality and quantity of the distributors at the event,\u201d said Lorenz Hassenstein, vice president and general manager of <em>The ASI Show<\/em>. \u201cSuppliers are generating proposals for orders right from the show and, while attendance numbers are on the rise, the real story is that new relationships are being forged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is home to the second-largest number of distributors in the U.S. Of the 510 suppliers who participated, 125 were new to ASI Dallas. Partnering suppliers with distributors helps promote success within the industry and is the primary goal of ASI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cASI Dallas has been just great for us &#8211; amazing traffic and a great quality of attendees,\u201d said Sergio Munoz from Debco, asi\/48885. \u201cDistributors are asking questions and coming prepared with projects they need help with. We\u2019ve been getting great leads, and it\u2019s been a very productive show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a really good show,\u201d added Max Castilleja from Staton Corporate and Casual, asi\/89380. \u201cWe\u2019ve been busy meeting many of our local clients, as well as a number of quality leads. We\u2019ve even gotten a few orders pending.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt ASI and ASI Show, we\u2019re charging ahead into 2012, buoyed by positive numbers, high-quality education and business advice from one of the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet. Put it all together, and ASI Dallas joined ASI Orlando as an undisputed hit,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president of <em>The ASI Show<\/em> and president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cEveryone enjoyed superior networking opportunities along with a bustling show floor and plenty of cool new products to invigorate any marketing and advertising campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Woods from AIA Corporation, asi\/109480, added, \u201cASI Dallas is a great show. We have a number of reps here. People are feeling good about the economy and morale is very high. Having access to so many products right here on the show floor is key to preparing for a strong sales season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team has really enjoyed and benefited from seeing all the great new products and services debuting for 2012,\u201d said Dave Regan from Vernon, asi\/351700. \u201cWe have about 30-35 reps here in Dallas, and they are really excited to be part of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<article><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter co-founder Biz Stone blows away a captive crowd TREVOSE, PA &#8211;
