Join us June 24 - 26, 2009, at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington, Kentucky, for three days filled with learning, networking, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and to interact with the experts in alcohol, tobacco, firearms and ammunition tax and regulatory matters.
What is TTB Expo 2009?
TTB Expo 2009 is a free educational event that is aimed at persons who operate the alcohol, tobacco, firearms and ammunition businesses we regulate. TTB has always placed a high premium on providing educational opportunities for industry members because we know that it can be very challenging to understand and comply with all the applicable laws, regulations and policies when operating one of the businesses we regulate. The response to our first Expo held last June was phenomenal and so here we are again with TTB Expo 2009, packed full of educational sessions, demonstrations and many opportunities to put a face with a name for many of the TTB employees who work every day on your issues.
We are offering almost 80 different educational sessions at the Expo this year. Not only can you learn about TTB requirements, but we'll have guest speakers from other government agencies too, including the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and several State Alcohol Beverage Control agencies. We've added a few new features this year including an e-Gov Hall where you can get hands-on experience with our Web-based filing systems, and we've increased the opportunities to meet with TTB employees either one-on-one or at one of the 30 booths in the Exhibition Hall. Whether your business involves alcohol, tobacco, firearms or ammunition there is something for you at TTB Expo 2009.
Who Should Attend?
Some Expo sessions are targeted at people who are interested in getting into one of the businesses regulated by TTB, but most are designed to assist persons already in business. Many of the sessions cover topics like recordkeeping, operational reports and paying taxes which make them ideal for persons who work in those areas. Industry consultants and attorneys may also be interested in many of the topics. Visit the Expo Web site and browse the session schedule to check out the descriptions and target audience information for each session.
