CITT/ICTS Buyer's Guide is an online resource accessible via the CITT/ICTS web site that will help the technical members of the performing art community to search for microphone suppliers in Regina, or fly system manufacturers in Ontario, or costume rental houses in all of the country.

The Buyer's Guide includes both CITT/ICTS corporate members and non-members, however, CITT/ICTS corporate members will be given priority in the search results.
