US-based Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) has seen unprecedented demand for its 2017 Annual Convention & Trade Show, which takes place in Austin, November 12-14.
On opening day of registration, numbers were 45% ahead of last year's 2016 Atlanta Convention opening day.
Thanks to the overwhelming demand, assigning booths has been a slow process, STAFDA said. Certain hotels have already sold out.
This year's event will see the introduction of the Young Professionals Luncheon, aimed at members who are 35 and under.
There are more details on the show here, or at the official STAFDA site.
