Summary

The Program

The past two or three years haven’t been pretty for the wholesale distribution industry. Truth be told, the near- and longer-term health of the industry and the surrounding U.S. and world economies remain open questions. However, there are actions all wholesaler-distributors can take immediately to improve their chances for success in a still rocky economic environment.

The NAW 2011 Executive Summit focuses on how distributors can "Get Back to Growth." Join us in Washington, DC, January 25–27, as we drill down and explore in depth the following issues and the frustrating uncertainty surrounding other economic fundamentals:

• Where will the economy trend in 2011 and 2012 — toward recovery and rejuvenation or toward recession and reversal?
• What are the major business trends emerging in wholesale distribution as uncovered in the latest Facing the Forces of Change® report, and what recommended action steps can you implement to capture growth?
• Are recent trends in government toward higher taxes, greater spending, deficits, debt, and more regulation likely to accelerate or abate over the next few years and will government’s fiscal and regulatory policies spur or discourage private sector economic growth?

Networking with Peers

As always, the NAW Executive Summit features the best in social networking, too, as you renew acquaintances and talk business with your peers from a variety of wholesale distribution industry lines of trade. Add your own perspectives to the program during discussion roundtables. Led by roundtable captains, you’ll have the opportunity to network directly with industry peers from other lines of trade. Learn what’s working and what isn’t — directly from your industry peers. Discussion roundtables are for wholesale distribution and manufacturer executives only.
