Testimonial from actual user: “The virtual platform you chose is head and shoulders above the one I attended today. So the big advantage of #tucsontechexpo over other virtual shows is the interaction opportunities between the exhibitors and attendees, and attendees with other attendees, just like a real show. Really excited!”
