In an effort to still provide our TIA Members with the knowledge that's especially important these days, while helping everyone stay safe & healthy, and save money on travel too, we are announcing that this year's TIA Tech will be held as a virtual conference
Still scheduled for Oct. 5th, it will take place in the convenience of your office or home instead of the Hyatt Long Beach which is still currently closed and looks like would have still been closed during our event dates. (details and registration, please click HERE.)
