Authorized Vendor List |
|
|
With any exhibition there are always multiple companies and individuals to deal with – from logistics to housing to marketing and furniture orders – and it's often difficult to remember who to contact. To help you with this, we've created and Authorized Vendor List for your reference. This list provides the companies that DIA has contracted with for DIA 2017. Please note as additional parties are brought on to handle various aspects of the show, the list will be updated.
If at any time you have doubts as to whether a company has been approved to represent or work for DIA or the DIA 2017 Annual Meeting, please email Americas.Exhibits@DIAglobal.org. DIA will not have the ability to assist you with any issues that may arise from using a non-official vendor.
