ABOUT US
TAA member companies range from storytellers to science centres, from architects to audio-visual engineers, and from marketers to master planners – many of whom have worked in Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, as well as throughout North America.

TAA services range from exhibit and theming design, to technical consulting, to operations and site planning. Products range from graphics and signage, to audio-visual equipment, to rides, to set and exhibit construction.

Most of the principals know each other, and often form consortiums to tackle larger projects. Here are the member firms that have web sites:
