Today’s competitive markets demand that wholesale distributors evolve faster, become more efficient, and provide memorable customer experiences.

Leading wholesale distributors are preparing to use digital tools to find new answers to questions such as:

  • What are the profitable new business models and trends like marketplaces, 3D printers, drones, smart vending, and data science?
  • How do you capitalize on the demand for more and new services in a hyper-connected world?
  • Which trends and technologies from adjacent industries are influencing distributors (retail, consumer products, and life science manufacturers)? And, does it matter, or are the new market disruptors the real threat?

Register here to join us in Orlando, May 17-19, 2016 for the SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference to find out how to answer these questions and more.  See you in Orlando.
