The Wrap Experience™

The Wrap Experience™, powered by International Sign Association and The Wrap Institute, is an interactive booth area that surrounds the Never Stop Learning™ Wrap Contest. The Wrap Experience brings together a wide range of companies and products that will inspire new ways to bring revenue into your business. We’re pleased to once again have Justin Pate, well-known as the expert in vehicle wraps, to host this one-of-a-kind event at ISA Sign Expo 2023 in Las Vegas, NV.

Never Stop Learning Contest™ Details

The Never Stop Learning Contest will bring together wrap experts and beginners for an experience that is competitive, instructional and, of course fun.

Justin will moderate three instructors who will train teams in wrap skills. At the end of each round, the group will be judged on the quality of their wrap and newfound knowledge. The instructors will then be judged on the quality of their teaching. Prizes like $100 gift cards, wrap tools and more will be given out to the winners each day.

There will be a variety of substrates and application stations available for participants and instructors’ use in the ISA Wrap Experience. Instructors will train in groups of three; a total of 27 spots daily are available for this limited opportunity. Sessions will last 75 minutes, allowing plenty of time to explore the other products and events available at ISA Sign Expo.
