2009 ITWA Trade Show – July 16-19
Radisson Hotel, 800 East 81st Avenue, Merrillville, IN
Secure Tented and Open Booth Space
Strategically located to attract towing companies from not only Indiana but also Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The 2008 ITWA Trade Show was so great that we decided to return to the Radisson again in 2009.
Tom Bertagnolli, the 2009 Chair and the members of Chapter 1 are planning a great show with some new activities, training, product demonstrations and plenty of time for participants to visit the vendors to see the latest in equipment and services. Other events will include a tow truck beauty contest, children’s activities, annual awards banquet on Saturday evening and a tow truck parade at dusk on Friday evening.
Make your plan now to present a seminar or product demonstration. Slots will be assigned prior to the show.
We look forward to your company’s participation as an exhibitor at the 2009 ITWA Trade Show. The ITWA Exhibit Guidelines and Contract for the 2009 Trade Show are enclosed.
