TCI EXPO to close earlier on the last day
As many of you recall, at the exhibitor’s breakfast in 2008 exhibitors voted overwhelmingly to shorten the Saturday show hours. When making your travel arrangements, please note that TCI EXPO will officially end at 1 pm Saturday. Thursday’s show hours (9:57 am – 4:00 pm) and Friday’s show hours (9:00 am – 4:00 pm) remain the same, while Saturday show hours are shortened (9:00 am – 1:00 pm).

The earlier close time was implemented in Baltimore and met with great success. TCIA will continue to close the floor at 1 pm on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

An earlier closing hour – coupled with a centrally located East Coast location and very strong air service at Pittsburgh – should allow most exhibitors to be home Saturday evening.

If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to contact Sachin Mohan at Mohan@tcia.org or (516) 625-1613. See you in Pittsburgh for the world’s largest tree care trade show!
