MAKE CONNECTIONS, FIND SOLUTIONS AND HAVE FUN AT TASBO EXPOTASBO EXPO is a vibrant, welcoming center for conference attendees to have conversations and discover new ideas. It’s more than just a place to get “swag” - the constant ac-tivity provides a place to meet friends and make new ones.

What to expect at TASBO EXPO?

It all starts with the Sneak Preview Party on Tuesday. TASBO invites attendees, course registrants and exhibi-tors to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and live music. It gets crowd-ed here but it’s a great way to kick off TASBOFest.

Live Music

TASBO is bringing local musicians to welcome attendees to Austin. Find out how we’ll top last year’s flash mob and be ready for a few surprises.

Food & Drinks

Austin is also known for its growing foodie scene. At TASBO EXPO you’ll get plenty of food, including lunch on Wednesday.

Campfire Sessions

Last year, TASBO introduced mini-ses-sions designed for both attendees and exhibitors - all in the TASBO Expo. We’re expanding the area with designated space located in the back corner. Don’t miss out on this learning opportunity.

The TASBO Invitational Putt-Putt

Participating exhibitors will provide attendees a chance in a putt-putt challenge with cash & prize opportunities.

Booth Contest

Attendees are in charge. You’ll get extra special treatment this year as you will be judging exhibitors on the best booths. We will have more than 300 exhibitors in TASBO EXPO so keep your eyes peeled for your favorites.

The Campfire Sessions at TASBO EXPO are a great away for presenters, exhibitors and attendees to gather around to discuss issues.
