If you are not familiar with H.I.T.A., you can follow this link to familiarize yourself with our organization; History of HITA - HITA - Home Inspectors of Tennessee
As it stated in the supplied link, we focus on legislation and education specific with our geographical area and the conditions that exist in the southeast. We are a non-profit working to help educate and support our members, as well as grow our organization to include all Home Inspectors licensed in Tennessee. While we offer free continuing education quarterly to our members, once every 18 months we put together an Educational Expo. We bring all of the members and our much-appreciated affiliate members together for a 2-day event, presenting at least 16 hours of national-level education, as well as hold a Vendor’s Fair so our Affiliate members have the opportunity to meet our members, to explain how their product/service can benefit our inspectors and their clients.
The night before we begin, we will host a Thursday night reception with live music, food, and drink to kick things off. With social networking time also built into both Friday and Saturday, affiliates and members more time than ever for vendor/inspector interaction. If you participated in the "mini-expo" we had at this venue this past November, you will have an idea of the approach we will be making, but on a much grander scale!
This is set up as any other convention vendors booths areas with a 10x10 area,8’ table and 2 chairs. Power is available if needed. Larger booths are available for the vendors that would like to sponsor at a higher than Silver Sponsor level.

If you have participated with us before, we so look forward to seeing your there! If you haven’t, I believe you will find it both enjoyable and mutually beneficial! What better group than home inspectors could you ask for to help promote your business. Touching one inspector, really explaining your product to them so they can refer you, gains you the opportunity to connect with hundreds of people, their clients, annually!

The law has education requirements, insurance requirements, successfully passing National Home Inspectors Exam, and adopted a Standard of Practice and Code of Ethics.
