2010 Conference News: The Southlake Conference
The 2010 Southlake Conference was a great success and had record attendance. This year we had more Vendors than ever in years past. This was the first year for the TCCA to offer a paper-light conference. All of the delegates received a thumb drive with all education and agenda information to take home. Reviews showed that delegates truly appreciated not having to take home the large binders that have been used in years past.
