GO TEXAN companies are encouraged to cast an early vote for increased success by registering to exhibit at the highly successful Black Tie & Boots Ball Jan. 19 in Washington, D.C.

Presented by the Texas State Society, the 2009 Black Tie & Boots Inaugural Ball Texas Fair is a Lone Star-style market and trade show highlighting Texas foods, wines, arts, entertainment and more. The 2009 gala already has sold 5,000 advance tickets, putting it on a pace to match or surpass last year's attendance of 12,000 visitors. The upcoming event will be staged in the newly opened elegance of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on the banks of the Potomac River. Visitors from across the nation will enjoy live music, dancing, celebrity appearances and much more as business leaders, elected officials and foreign ambassadors mingle and take in the sights and sounds of Texas.

Exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities range from $500 to $50,000 with booth location depending on level of sponsorship, availability and sign-up time.
