For 28 years, the Alliance has connected businesses and people in a “face-to-face” format and provided exhibitors a chance to promote and sell their goods and services to more than 500 attendees under one roof!  Don’t miss this opportunity to check out area businesses and make personal connections which are becoming more rare, but more important.
