DIG Executive Director Stephanie Pappas expects this year’s trade show to be bigger and better than those in the past, particularly with the new date. She said the organization switched to a November date – instead of August – as fewer people would be traveling. More than 500 people attend each year and Pappas said she anticipates even more visitors this year.
