Selecting Codes for ATA Buyer’s / Specifier’s Guides

ATA members and non-members alike can participate in our award winning buyer / specifier guides. Each guide has a period of time wherein you can indicate what products and services you provide that fit into a given guides focus. To see what the listing submission period is for a given guide, you will need to go to the Buyer’s Guide page on textiles.org. Once there, you will see a calendar depicting the submission form availability dates for each guide.

Clicking ‘purchase’ will take you into the selection process, where you will first need to log on to textiles.org if you aren’t logged in already.
