For the third suc­ces­sive year, the TTMA's Trade and In­vest­ment Con­ven­tion is on track for sold out booth space in the lead up to the event.TIC has re­ceived steady in­ter­est from par­tic­i­pants since its launch last No­vem­ber, and now, three months be­fore the start of the show, on­ly 40 booths are left for sale. Or­gan­is­ers said this is a clear in­di­ca­tion of the high lev­el of de­mand for op­por­tu­ni­ties for lo­cal and re­gion­al man­u­fac­tur­ers to pro­mote their goods and oth­er ser­vices to qual­i­fied buy­ers.

TIC Chair­man An­tho­ny Aboud said an in­crease in re­quests for booths from first time par­tic­i­pants, cou­pled with de­mand from re­turn­ing ex­hibitors, has dri­ven booth sales.Among the ex­hibitors par­tic­i­pat­ing for the first time in TIC is the Ar­gen­tine Em­bassy, which has in­di­cat­ed its in­ter­est in pro­mot­ing its en­er­gy and food and bev­er­age sec­tors at the trade show. A high lev­el del­e­ga­tion of busi­ness peo­ple from Ar­genti­na is ex­pect­ed to ar­rive in T&T for TIC in June.

Buy­er-ex­hibitor con­tin­gents are al­so ex­pect­ed from the Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic and Brazil, of­fer­ing lo­cal and re­gion­al busi­ness­es op­por­tu­ni­ties to tap in­to the Latin Amer­i­can mar­ket di­rect­ly on the tradeshow floor.The con­fer­ence cel­e­brates its 14th an­niver­sary this year, and takes place from June 12-15 at the Hy­att Re­gency in Port of Spain. TIC is spon­sored by the Min­istry of Trade, In­dus­try and In­vest­ment, First Cit­i­zens and the Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of T&T.
