The TTA is encouraging companies and individuals in the industry to start considering their entries for the TTA Awards 2018, which are to be held on the evening of Friday 18 May at The St John’s Hotel, Solihull.
This year will see enhanced sponsorship packages available, which will add value for sponsors and improve the attractiveness of sponsoring the event. In addition to the standard packages, the TTA is working on a number of bespoke packages, tailored to meet the specific needs of sponsors.
Gold Sponsors will benefit from two innovations planned for the coming year. For the first time there is to be a Technical Expo – and complimentary Expo stand space is included as part of this year’s Gold Sponsorship package. To participate, exhibitors will need to feature on their stand a special offer which is available to attendees.
In addition to the Expo, the TTA will also be holding a CPD seminar programme on the day of the Awards. Gold sponsors will have the opportunity to present one seminar on a subject of their choice between 10am and 4pm on Friday 18th. Refreshments will be available at both the Technical Expo and the CPD seminar programme.
Following on from the CPD seminars, the TTA AGM will be held at 5pm in the St Johns Hotel. All members are encouraged to attend.
