The North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors and the North American Building Material Distribution Association extended their partnership in 2017.

The NAFCD + NBMDA annual convention is scheduled for Nov. 14-16 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Bringing together more than nine hundred distribution professionals representing the leading distribution companies in the U.S. and Canada, the tabletop networking forum allows distributors and manufacturers to connect face to face and conduct meaningful business planning. Semi-private tabletop booths provide an ideal forum for senior executives and key decision makers to discuss distribution plans and strategies for the future while also reviewing past performance. Meetings are coordinated by appointment to ensure a highly focused and productive environment.

In addition to strengthening partnerships, the event fosters networking and knowledge sharing between attendees. In 2017, the convention will host concurrent sessions on topics like the latest tech, political, economic and sales trends.

“More than 900 distribution professionals from NAFCD and NBMDA are expected at the 2017 annual Convention,” NAFCD and NBMDA executive director Kevin Gammonley said in a statement. “The joint event between the two organizations continues to be a solid foundation where members can rely on valuable education and insights while making meaningful business connections.”

Attendee registration will open in July.
