SMTA Announces Dates and Location for SMTA International 2011

Minneapolis, MN - The SMTA announced today that the highly respected SMTA International Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas on October 16-20, 2011. Attendees and exhibitors can expect the same focused event with the strongest technical conference for which SMTAI has come to be known. The SMTA Board of Directors selected Fort Worth because of the central location between the coasts for easy access. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the US and the #1 tourist destination in Texas. SMTAI 2010 will be held in Orlando, FL on October 24 -28, 2010.

JoAnn Stromberg, SMTA Administrator, said that the move to Fort Worth in 2011 is going to be a win-win situation for those who have attended SMTAI in the past and those who have not. "We hope that the people who have grown accustomed to attending SMTAI in both Orlando and San Diego will join us in Fort Worth for this focused conference and exhibition," Stromberg said. SMTAI has been recognized as a truly different type of industry event because the high quality of technical information and the networking opportunities that cannot be found anywhere else in the industry.
