More than 300 customers and over 50 suppliers joined The Distributors on the Gold Coast for their National Retailer and Wholesaler Trade Show & Conference in early May.
The first day kicked off with the Inaugural Retailer Trade Show followed by a Wholesaler Trade Show in the afternoon with exhibitors showcasing new product lines, product innovations and trends. An evening cocktail welcome party wrapped up the day and provided an invaluable networking opportunity for delegates.
The second day saw The Distributors Members gather for the Mid-Year state of the business update as well as supplier presentations and concluded with a formal Gala Dinner after which guests could continue the festivities choosing between The Distributors ‘Casino’ and ‘Night Club’.
The conference concluded with the Supplier Forum which was well-attended and provided suppliers with an update on the Group’s strategic direction.
“We are very pleased with the attendance at our first ever National Retailer & Wholesaler Trade Show,” said Alessandro Garofalo. “It was a fantastic opportunity for our trading partners, customers and suppliers, to share what our group can offer across our national footprint made of passionate and dedicated local businesses.”
“Working more in partnership, sharing as much as we can to plan and work together will make sure that together we are all successful.”
