During the three-day conference, vendors will have the opportunity to demonstrate and showcase products to distributor buyers in suites with private, prearranged meeting times.
According to Steve Synnott, president and CEO of PRO Group, “The GMC has paved the way for new group manufacturers to gain traction within the network of PRO Distributors. The focal point of the event is private, scheduled 30-minute meetings between buyers and sellers. These meetings present a uniquely valuable opportunity to launch new products, line extensions and promotions.”
PRO Group director of merchandising Brendan Sullivan, along with Joy Smith, merchandise manager, other PRO Group staff and PRO Member Distributor Companies will meet with manufacturers and distributors during the event.
“The GMC is a unique and productive opportunity for new and prospective manufacturers to get in front of the PRO Group Distributor Membership,” said Sullivan.
