It all started with...
Elite 3 Pro | Lucas Sales Group | Bell & McCoy | Samsung
A collective group of rep agencies for the residential technology industry that manages the Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas markets (aka TOLA) for their respective manufacturers came together to host the 1st annual TOLA Expo in 2021. These rep firms and Samsung's very own Ryan Chicoine pulled this show together to provide a much-needed regional experience for the integrators and other technology groups engaged in this industry trade.
In our 2nd year, this show grew significantly by adding additional rep agencies, brand leaders that don't utilize rep agencies, and a mix of quality regional distributors.
For our 3rd year, we continue to grow the exhibitor list by adding two more regional rep agencies; Momentum Marketing and New Era Marketing. Additionally, the show floor has been upgraded to a larger, more open space, allowing more room for larger booths. And finally, the overall education experience has also stepped up in ways that continue to expand the curriculum and improve the overall experience for the attendees.
