Telecom Training & Safety - Exhibitor/Sponsor Information

Welcome, Exhibitors and Sponsors!

---

TT&S serves some of the most advanced broadband companies in the country. Our members are busy making the Dakotas some of the most connected states in the nation with many providing 100% fiber to the home across vast expanses of open prairie and small farming communities to metropolitan areas like Fargo and Bismarck. All of our members offer high speed broadband and phone services, and many include CATV and cellular products as part of their customer bundles.

For over fifty years, TT&S has been providing skills and knowledge to technicians and managers. A part of that is provided at our annual conference. A regional gathering, our conference offers learning opportunities for ISP/OSP/CO technicians and supervisors, CSRs, and office personnel. We support close contact with vendors and urge our attendees to ask questions, discuss problems, and search for new products to improve efficiency and effectiveness on the job.

We would like to connect you with these potential customers at our next conference, which takes place February 18-20, 2025, at the Bismarck Hotel in Bismarck, North Dakota (was the Ramkota Hotel). The general schedule for exhibitors is as follows:

Tuesday:

• Machinery Exhibitor set up... 8 am
