2020 Expo Cancelled
After much deliberation, we have made the decision to postpone the Supplier's Expo until Wednesday, April 14, 2021. It was a difficult decision for us to make, and we are saddened that we will miss the opportunity to connect with you, but we feel that it is the right thing to do for the health and safety of our entire community.
You have 3 options for your booth fee:
- Transfer your booth fee to the April 14, 2021 expo – you can keep the same booth. Contact businessoffice@iami411.org if you'd like to rollover your registration fee.
- Donate some or all of your 2020 fee to the St. Louis Section to help us support scholarships and our Section activities as the Expo funds our activities.
- Receive a full refund. Contact businessoffice@iami411.org if you'd like a full refund.
Please reach out to us at businessoffice@iami411.org if you have additional questions or concerns.
Thank you for your continued support of the St. Louis IFT Section.
