April 05 2021 - NCIFT Virtual Suppliers’ Night Event,
Event Info: IFT-Details and Pricing  There is no fee to attend this event.

Because other IFT Sections in our area have had to cancel their in-person supplier events, we have invited their members to join us. You can interact with members of the San Joaquin Valley Section, Oregon Section, Puget Sound Section, and the British Columbia Section, as well as NCIFT members. This means we could have more than 2,500 attendees. As Chair of the NCIFT Suppliers' Event, I know you'll find information and education in this virtual setting similar to what you would have at the in-person event.  

If you would like to join us as an exhibitor, please visit http://ncift.org/suppliersnight/ for more information or contact Imelda at the NCIFT office at ncift@marketingdesigns.net   We look forward to having you share the event with us.  

I'm looking forward to 'seeing' you at the event.
