AVDA 2005 Annual Conference - Success Through Distribution

The AVDA 2005 Annual Conference is all about improving on and developing the relationship between distributors and manufacturers. It’s three days of networking between animal health industry distributors and manufacturers, with none of the distractions of a trade show. If growing your company through successful channel relationships is important to you, there’s no better place for you to be this April than AVDA’s Annual Conference.

Featured speaker Mark Dancer will look at the key trends impacting the wholesale supply chain. Robert Nadeau will address manufacturer-distributor relations and Jim Pancero will help you evaluate the marketing health of your business. A panel of related distribution

industry experts will examine the state of distribution in their industries and we’ll see how trends in their industries relate to supply chain issues in animal health.

One of the highlights of this year’s conference will be the Annual Scramble Golf Tournament at the famed Blue Monster Course at Doral Golf Resort and Spa. The legendary course, designed by Dick Wilson, features long fairways, undulating greens and deep Bermuda rough. The tournament will be held on Tuesday, April 19 and pre-registration is required; the fee is $215 per person.

Returning to this year’s conference is the AVDA Doubles Tennis Tournament. The tournament will be held on Monday, April 18 at The Biltmore’s tennis courts and will feature a double/round robin format. Pre-registration is also required for this event; the fee is $40 per person
