TASBO will set up an area in the TASBO Lounge inside the exhibit hall to place all completed prize voucher forms.  Attendees will check in the TASBO Lounge to see if they won a prize drawing.  Prize winners will claim the voucher with their name and go to the exhibitor booth listed on the voucher to redeem the prize.
