SAVE THE DATE
TTB Expo 2008 was by all accounts a huge success that far exceeded our expectations. Close to 550 people attended the 43 educational sessions and visited our 16 exhibition booths. The Expo was a clear indication of the importance TTB places on educating and communicating with our regulated industry members. The feedback we received on the Expo surveys was overwhelmingly positive. Close to 98 percent of the respondents said that they would come back to another TTB Expo in the future.
We have already started planning for TTB Expo 2009. It will be held June 24 - 26, 2009, back at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington, Kentucky, just minutes away from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.
In response to the feedback we received in the TTB Expo 2008 surveys, we will be offering more targeted sessions and adding more detailed information to the sessions. We will have a greater number of exhibition booths, as well, which will allow attendees even more opportunities to ask questions and interact with the TTB employees. Also, we have many other exciting new features which we will share with you in the coming months.
So mark your calendar for June 24-26, 2009, and save the dates. Check our Web site frequently for updates. We look forward to seeing you at TTB Expo 2009!
