TCI EXPO Schedule

TCI EXPO is jam packed with exceptional education sessions, tree demonstrations, forums, meet-and greets, and more!

TCIA Marketing and Publications Booth

Stop by the TCIA Marketing and Publications booth on the trade show floor for a FREE consultation on your marketing strategies and to review your company’s print advertising. Bring your samples!

Thursday: 2 - 4 pm
Friday: 1 - 3 pm
Saturday: 10 am - Noon

Pre-Conference

In addition to the daily education sessions, TCI EXPO also plays host to a wide selection of pre-conference seminars like:

• CTSP Workshop
• EHAP (Electrical Hazards Awareness Program)
• Business Boot Camp
• Utility Companies: Pruning PR and Best Practices
• Increase Sales, Decrease Stress

These intensive workshops take place on the days before the TCI EXPO trade show opens and offer a beyond-the-basics learning experience in economical half-day and full-day formats.

With longer seat times and lower instructor-to-student ratios than most conference seminars, these workshops are a perfect way to achieve workshop skills development that’s relevant to your entire team!
