Institute Of Scrap Recycling Industries Returns To New Orleans For 30th Anniversary

NEW ORLEANS – The largest annual gathering of scrap recycling professionals is returning to New Orleans for its annual convention and exposition. Hosted by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), ISRI2017 will bring an estimated 4,300 attendees and nearly 300 exhibitors from all 50 states and more than 35 countries to the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (MCCNO), April 22-27.

         To add to the list of exciting exhibitions at this year’s meeting, the opening session will include a presentation on “The Art of Perception” by author, lawyer and consultant Amy Herman. Herman is the founder and president of the Art of Perception, Inc., a New York-based organization that conducts professional development courses for leaders of the FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, the Peace Corps and other organizations around the world. She trains members of each group to enhance their powers of observation and memory through analyzing artwork. Also set to speak is TV host, executive producer, narrator, philanthropist and Opera singer, Mike Rowe, who will headline ISRI2017’s Closing General Session.

         ISRI last met in New Orleans in 2007. This year’s event is expected to be the largest ISRI Convention and Exposition since 2014 and the largest ever held in New Orleans. ISRI2017 is projected to have an economic impact of more than $5 million.
