This added layer of new, key executive buyers from all corners of the country and the development of an even deeper element of networking and purchasing will surely broaden the overall TISE experience for exhibitors and attendees.” Says Amie Gilmore, CEM, director, Informa Exhibitions Design Group, The International Surface Event.
