ORLANDO, FL | ICE USA 2017—the international converting exhibition in Orlando, FL, April 25–27, announces an expanded Ask the Experts program and the addition of Technical Market Strategist Ingrid Brase to the team. Event organizer Mack Brook Exhibitions says the program is a service that ICE USA provides its attendees, offering them the chance to book one-on-one complimentary appointments with some of the industry’s leading consultants. They can use their time to get outside opinions on strategic decisions, discover solutions to expand their business, or receive troubleshooting advice to solve production or operational challenges.
