Exhibitor information
AWMA Business Exchange – One-on-one meetings between distributors and manufacturers/suppliers. Once again, the AWMA Business Exchange (ABX) will follow the AWMA Summit program on Tuesday morning. AWMA introduced the ABX meetings at the 2004 AWMA Summit & Business Exchange in New Orleans. Both distributors and manufacturer/suppliers alike appreciate the opportunity to meet with top decision-makers in each others companies. The meetings are strategic and about moving the business forward – very different than your typical trade show. Every year the program has grown to include more participants. Manufacturers/suppliers who have participated each year said the cost of their meeting room was well worth it when they considered the number of productive meetings held with their distributor customers. And, distributors come back year after year to participate in one of their favorite events.
