SET YOUR SIGHTS ON THE FUTURE AT THE FPDA/ISD ANNUAL SUMMIT
SEPTEMBER 18-21, 2016, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
The FPDA Board met in late March at the Westin Savannah, home of the 2016 FPDA/ISD Summit. We were joined by the ISD President and Vice President. Not only was a great program planned for September, but we also checked out the Westin and downtown Savannah. We can assure you that you will enjoy this incredible destination – Savannah has it all!
While we work on the meeting brochure, here’s a quick glimpse of our program highlights – the entire program is focused on the planning for our future!
- You won’t want to miss our opening session on Monday morning when Herb Meyer will deliver his overview of global trends and developments. He will astound you with his in-depth insight.
- Al Bates of Profit Planning Group will reveal what actually drives profit. His conclusions shatter much of the conventional wisdom in distribution.
- Jade West, Senior Vice President of Government Relations for the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors will explore the regulatory, legislative and political scene now and in the future. Her insights will help you understand the potential impacts during this election year.
- Frank Hurtte of Riverside Consulting will discuss the future of the fluid power distributor. This program will help you better understand your business and where it fits in today’s marketplace.
- Joe Calvello of Cleveland Research will join us once again to share what is happening in our end user markets and what we might expect moving forward.
- Paul Reilly of Reilly Training has faced the same challenges as many fluid power and motion control distributors during his sales career and he will discuss the sales opportunities we face on a daily basis.
Combine this program with the attractions and charm of Savannah, and you have a winning combination. Watch for details!
