ANISTO ALVES

The much an­tic­i­pat­ed Trade and In­vest­ment Con­ven­tion (TIC) put on by the T&T Man­u­fac­tur­er’s As­so­ci­a­tion (TTMA) has been post­poned un­til the first quar­ter of 2022.

In a state­ment to stake­hold­ers the TTMA ex­plained that the post­pone­ment was done on ad­vice of the Min­is­ter of Health, in keep­ing with the COVID-19 health and safe­ty pro­to­cols at this time.

How­ev­er, the TTMA said de­spite the phys­i­cal ex­hi­bi­tion hav­ing to be resched­uled, the vir­tu­al B2B meet­ings and we­bi­na­rs will still take place from No­vem­ber 1 to 3, 2021.

“These el­e­ments of TIC will al­low busi­ness to be gen­er­at­ed and mean­ing­ful quan­ti­ta­tive re­turns to be en­gaged to all TIC par­tic­i­pants,” the TTMA said.

It added that next year promis­es to be a “larg­er, stronger and greater show” than that was planned this year as the vac­ci­na­tion rates in­crease and as Gov­ern­ment re­stric­tions con­tin­ue to be lift­ed.

The TTMA al­so added that next year, the TIC will once again at­tract thou­sands of ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed par­tic­i­pants to the Cen­tre of Ex­cel­lence, Ma­coya, over the three-day pe­ri­od with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of an ex­pand­ed trade show floor than what was be­ing of­fered in 2021.

“TTMA looks for­ward to your con­tin­ued sup­port of TIC in 2022 as we con­tin­ue to nav­i­gate through the new nor­mal to bal­ance lives and liveli­hood,” the or­gan­i­sa­tion said.

In 2020 the TIC’s vir­tu­al plat­form ex­pe­ri­enced a glitch but the is­sue was rec­ti­fied.
