The Refinishing Touch Blog

You may have a noticed a short silence from us on our blog – we’ve been busy at the Buyer Interactive Trade Alliance & Conference (BITAC) West over in a sunnier (and drier) California. As many of you know and I’m sure you’ll agree, BITAC conferences are always great events – this year BITAC West boasted a record numbers of attendees, so the word must be spreading.

Several times a year the team at TRT heads over to one of the BITAC events to participate, share our ideas, and contribute to the brainstorms about the challenges facing our industry. Each conference is worthwhile, informative and entertaining. Since 1998, BITAC has brought together professionals throughout all areas of the hospitality industry in order to foster long-term relationships and spread innovative ideas and trends. And that’s not just our opinion – almost all of the attendees voted BITAC as “The Best” or “One of the Best” industry events they attend. With educational sessions, face-to-face meetings, relationship building meals and evening entertainment, they are a fruitful way to spend a few days.

This year TRT sponsored the lunch on the opening day of BITAC West, where we were able to show our involvement with and recording by The Discovery Channel’s Planet Green network and our founder, Mario Insenga, gave a great presentation to our peers in the industry about TRT’s history, the work we do and our future goals.

Attending the conferences is a great way for us to reconnect with former clients and old friends as well as introduce ourselves to others in the industry, and we’re eagerly looking forward to the next BITAC event.
