USSC Foundation funds research on the design characteristics of on premise signs and traffic safety. It also provides information on new sign technology and sign codes as well as electrical requirements and sign fire safety. It publishes technical and professional manuals and offers members the opportunity to connect with their fellow sign company professionals. USSC Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving and supporting American sign manufacturing and skilled trades. Supporting members get convenient access to the latest Research Data, Product Information, Technology Updates and Regulatory Compliance Standards. Connect with your peers and discover new insights to the challenges you face in running your sign shop and obtaining sign approvals. The USSC Foundation board came to the conclusion that there was an opportunity to have a re-branded convention in Atlantic City in 2018, which would provide a source of funding for the Foundation’s research and a venue for the industry’s top brands. Consequently, there will be a new sign-related convention in Atlantic City. Early response from exhibitors during the convention in December 2017 was very positive. The new venue will be Harrah’s Resort and Casino; which opened a new event center in 2015.
