CBA is preparing changes to its annual summer show, which will mark its 60th anniversary in Denver, July 12-16, 2009.

The retailers trade association is "working on some pretty exciting adjustments and new elements" for the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS), Meetings and Expositions Director Scott Graham wrote at the organization's online Industry Blog.

The changes were intended to meet "the expressed needs and desires of the industry," he said. Feedback from 2008 attendees made it clear that most were "looking for a few key things: reasonable cost, a schedule that is easy to navigate, dedicated and focused exhibit floor time, and ample opportunity for the level of relationship-building and business that can only be done in person and in large scale at ICRS."

More details are to be revealed in the coming weeks and months, Graham said. "Things may look a bit different than you're used to."
