Through a competitive selection process, eight pioneering companies will receive complimentary exhibit space at North America's premier surface event. This exclusive program is specifically designed for businesses operating for two years or less who haven't previously exhibited at tise.

This carefully curated opportunity puts emerging brands in the spotlight, creating valuable connections with industry professionals and decision-makers that can accelerate your business growth.
