I Wrap Up
n August, well over 300 gathered online for TIADA’s first ever virtual conference and expo. The association welcomed industry experts, state lawmakers, dealers across the state, and nearly 50 sponsors. “While we look forward to seeing everyone in person, it was great to see such a diverse group of participants come together, exchange ideas and bring their own experiences to the table. This is what our conference is all about,” said Executive Director Jeff Martin. In just four short weeks, TIADA transformed its annual conference and expo to a virtual event in order to offer TIADA members key education and a platform to network and share ideas regarding key issues impacting the industry.
“Thank you TIADA for putting on a conference. Period! Would have been very easy to throw in the towel for the year as I’m sure many other associations have done.”
