In this episode, Ted Hughes discusses what makes the AWDA Annual Conference, held November 2-3 in Las Vegas, one of the most important gatherings for warehouse distributors and suppliers in the aftermarket industry.
At its core are the one-on-one meetings—the lifeblood of the event—where suppliers and distributors connect directly to build relationships, negotiate partnerships, and drive real business outcomes. Ted walks us through what attendees love about it, and why warehouse distributors looking to strengthen supplier relationships, suppliers seeking to expand their channel presence, or someone new to the aftermarket, should be at the AWDA Annual Conference.
