The 68th TAAI Convention has an important opportunity for all stakeholders desirous of promoting their brand, product, or service.

ITTE is attended by the heads of the buyer organizations who are decision makers and an important contact for every exhibitor to establish. It is witnessed that in the past several TAAI ITTE’s that were held during Conventions, many have signed up new relationships and continue to actively engage with these principals – colleagues.
