2020 Alliance expo set for Feb. 12 at Reno convention center

RENO, Nev. — The third annual Alliance business expo is scheduled for 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

The expo is a collaboration among The Reno + Sparks Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority, and Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority.

Further, the event will also feature performances by the Reno Philharmonic and Reno Jazz Orchestra, and music by QuedUp.

Sponsors this year include Saint Mary's Health Network, The Row, Wells Fargo, Panasonic, BBSI, NV Energy and the Peppermill Reno.
