Looking ahead to the International Christian Retail Show 2009

As we look ahead to the 60^th anniversary celebration International Christian Retail Show 2009 in Denver, Colorado, we are also looking back at the 2008 Show in Orlando. After each Show, we solicit feedback from everyone who either attended or exhibited at the Show, as well as those who did not, and comb through the results to make sure as we plan for the coming year we are meeting the expressed needs and desires of the industry.

As we reviewed this year’s surveys it was apparent that the majority of participants in the Show in all capacities are looking for a few key things: reasonable cost, a schedule that is easy to navigate, dedicated and focused exhibit floor time, and ample opportunity for the level of relationship-building and business that can only be done in person and in large scale at ICRS. At CBA, we do take the feedback we receive very seriously and we’re working on some pretty exciting adjustments and new elements for the 2009 Show to help meet these goals.

In the coming weeks and months, stay tuned as we begin to unveil what is in store for the International Christian Retail Show 2009 in Denver – things may look a bit different than you’re used to. We’re looking forward to it and hope that you are too! We greatly appreciate your partnership in serving Christ and our industry.
