TCIA has recognized that exhibitors and attendees seek to maximize their networking opportunities and professional responsibilities while at TCIA events, such as TCI EXPO and WMC. Oftentimes these opportunities come in the form of “ancillary events,” which are non-TCIA-sponsored events, such as business meetings, workshops, or social gatherings.

TCIA appreciates these ancillary events and would like to provide support however we can. But in order for TCIA to recognize an ancillary event, the host of the ancillary event is required to register the event with TCIA. This requirement helps TCIA ensure that all events run smoothly in consideration of ancillary events.

If you are planning to host any type of ancillary event before or after a TCIA event, we ask you to:

  • Read the TCIA Ancillary event policy, you will be required to abide by this policy; and,
  • For events at TCI EXPO 2025 in St. Louis, you must fill out the Ancillary Events form before June 30th, 2025. We are not able to accept applications after this deadline.
