The EPC offers Vendors a cost-effective opportunity to meet face-to-face with key executives from over 30 independent HDA Member Distributor companies. In pre-scheduled, 20-minute meetings, Vendors can present new products, discuss promotions, and align on strategic objectives for the year ahead. This productive format is complemented by social networking opportunities, including evening receptions and a golf scramble at luxury courses.
Why Should I Attend the EPC?
Designed to be and remain one of the most interactive events in the industry, the EPC’s legacy spans over two decades. At its core, the event replaces the traditional booth setup and provides the opportunity for suppliers to strengthen partnerships and explore new business with key executives from over 30 independent hardware distribution companies during pre-scheduled meetings. Over the years, the EPC has evolved to enhance brand visibility and provide countless networking opportunities in the form of a golf tournament, themed receptions and activities, the featured item area and the new vendor showcase. The relaxed atmosphere allows relationships to grow beyond a handshake with attendees departing the EPC having identified future opportunities that help each distributor and manufacturer organization thrive into the following year.
