Executive Conference Appointments will take
place on Tuesday, July 14. A total of 10
twenty-minute sessions are available with five

after lunch. Executive Conferences are unique,
face-to-face sessions between manufacturers and
distributors, providing a valuable opportunity
for trading partners to discuss key elements of
their business relationship. Distributors
will host tables to discuss ongoing business
issues or new business opportunities with
manufacturers.
An
appointment calendar to help you schedule your
conferences will be sent to you once you
register for the Safety Leadership Forum. An
attendee list will be posted on the SEDA web
site so you can schedule your appointments;
manufacturers and distributors are responsible
for making appointments in advance. Take
advantage of this excellent opportunity to meet
face-to-face with the top management of your key
trading partners.
Guidelines for Executive Conference Appointments
-
Conferences should be scheduled in advance
by either manufacturers or distributors.
-
An AGENDA outlining the intended topics of
discussion and purposes of the meeting
should be prepared by the individual making
the appointment. Email the agenda to your
appointment representative prior to the
conference.
-
Appropriate executive conference topics
include: prior years sales growth, new
marketing initiatives, strategic sales and
marketing goals.
-
Make the most of your conferences. Limit
discussion to agenda items only. Use free
time for social visits.
-
Executive conferences are set for 20
minutes, with travel time, but you can book
double time slots in advance if both parties
are in agreement.
-
The executive conferences exist as a chance
to discuss problems, concerns and
opportunities between distributors and
suppliers. Selling of products is not
allowed. Please be sure to take advantage of
this valuable opportunity by preparing in
advance for your conference.
