WHY EXHIBIT AT THE CITT TRADE SHOW?
"- The CITT trade show is the only event in Canada that allows me to meet the top decision makers in live performance in Canada in an highly convivial atmosphere. Since it moves from region to region in Canada, I also get to meet clients that usually aren't able to travel to the bigger international shows." 

"- The trade show is the perfect mid-summer atmosphere to meet your friends and clients. Showcase your new and innovative products and services to a national audience in beautiful London, ON"

SWAG DONATIONS FOR SWAG BINGO - Friday August 17

Corporate members are invited to donate swag for CITT's one and only Swag Bingo. More than a CITT tradition, Swag BINGO is an event that represents the very best of the organization.  The event actually starts Friday afternoon when the Trade Show floor opens, as all exhibitors will be given Swag BINGO cards to distribute to conference delegates!  The object is to increase traffic to your booth as the attendees gather cards throughout the afternoon.  The more booths they visit – the more cards they get!
 
Later that evening, after the Trade Show tear down, all participants gather for a notoriously entertaining evening of BINGO using Trade Show exhibitor’s swag as prizes. Swag BINGO is part corporate recognition, part social mixer, part fundraiser – and a whole lot of fun! Corporate members are asked to join the consortium of sponsors by giving a cash share of $250.00 each and by donating swag prizes of their choice.

Mingle with the conference delegates at several social events held throughout the conference by reserving your tickets for you and your staff when you book your booth.
