About ISA International Sign Expo
ISA International Sign Expo, the annual trade show of the International Sign Association for the sign, graphics, print and visual communications industry, comes to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas in 2027. Pre-conference sessions are on Tuesday 30 March and the trade show runs from Wednesday 31 March to Friday 2 April 2027.
The show alternates between Las Vegas and Orlando: the organiser says the 2026 edition welcomed approximately 16,000 registrants, and it lists 500+ vendors, 30+ education sessions and workshops and attendees from 112+ countries for 2027.
Expect fabrication equipment and materials, digital printing, software and digital signage on the floor, plus The Wrap Experience, the NextGen Tech Zone and the ISA ROCKS industry party on the Thursday night. Mandalay Bay sits at the south end of the Strip, the closest part of the Strip to the airport, so hotels at Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur keep the daily commute short.
This page shows live Las Vegas hotel rates for the show dates, which you can change. Show registration is separate from your hotel, and Event Escapes is independent of ISA.

How do you get to ISA International Sign Expo?
From Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- Mandalay Bay is at the south end of the Strip, the nearest part of the Strip to the airport
- Taxis wait outside baggage claim at both terminals: at Terminal 1 on the east side near doors 1 to 4, and at Terminal 3 on Level Zero near door 52
- Uber and Lyft pick up inside the parking garages: on Level 2 at Terminal 1 and on the Valet Level at Terminal 3
- The organiser says Mandalay Bay does not run its own airport shuttle; shared airport shuttles serve all major Strip hotels, and Mandalay Bay is usually the first or last drop-off
Arriving at Mandalay Bay Convention Center
- Valet and self parking are available at Mandalay Bay for a fee, and hotel guests' daily parking fee covers in and out access across MGM Resorts Las Vegas properties
- Oversized vehicles park only at the Excalibur oversized lots, by arrangement with your MGM hotel's front desk
- Show management staff are in Registration in the Bayside E Foyer of the convention centre
- Every registered attendee must be 18 or over; a minor guest must stay with the attendee at all times, and minors are never allowed on the floor during move in or move out
How do you get around during ISA International Sign Expo?
Getting to the convention centre each day
- Staying at Mandalay Bay keeps the commute indoors
- A free tram links Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay; the Las Vegas Monorail's guide says it runs from 10:00 to midnight, so confirm times with the hotels if you need it before the doors open
- Wear your badge for every ISA event, but the organiser asks you to take it off once you leave the event for safety
- Expect queues for rideshare and taxis at Mandalay Bay at opening and closing, so leave a little earlier or later if you can
Around Las Vegas
- The Las Vegas Monorail's seven stations run from SAHARA to MGM Grand and do not include Mandalay Bay
- Taxis and rideshare are the usual way between the South Strip, the Mid-Strip and the convention centre district
- Distances on the Strip are longer than they look, so allow time between resorts
- Book client dinners ahead, especially around the Thursday night industry party
Do you need a visa for ISA International Sign Expo?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current US entry rules for your passport before you travel, on the official US government websites

- You must hold an e-Passport, with an embedded chip, to travel under the Visa Waiver Program
eVisa / visa required
- The organiser says most foreign nationals travelling for the show will need a US visa, so start early and check local interview wait times
- Invitation letters for a visa application can only be issued once your registration is complete; exhibitors request theirs through a separate link
- An ESTA or visa does not guarantee entry: US Customs and Border Protection officers decide admissibility on arrival
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for your whole stay, with your ESTA approval or visa linked to that passport
- Your ISA Sign Expo registration confirmation and visa invitation letter if you used one
- Your hotel booking and return or onward ticket, in case the border officer asks

- The 2027 show is in Las Vegas and the 2028 show moves to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, so check which city older plans refer to
