MD-IDEX is why everyone comes to the Industry Summit! Where
else can you hold one-on-one meetings with 10 different
senior management executives in one location? The
Manufacturer-Distributor Idea Exchange (MD-IDEX) offers distributors and
manufacturers a time- and cost-effective opportunity to meet
face-to-face with current and potential business partners.
What keeps Ron Herem of Baldwin Supply Co. coming back to the
Industry Summit year-after-year? Sharing thoughts and ideas -- and where
better than at MD-IDEX!
What exactly is MD-IDEX? MD-IDEX offers
PTDA manufacturer members the opportunity to reserve
"offices" during the Industry Summit to hold one-on-one
meetings with current and potential distributors.
MD-IDEX features two components to bring together
top-level industry executives:
The first component is scheduled appointments.
There are 7 appointments of 20 minutes each. Appointment
scheduling is done online in advance of the Industry Summit.
Distributors can schedule appointments from August 26 to September
16. Manufacturers can schedule appointments from September 20 to
October 1.
The second component is open time. Distributors
walk the floor of the MD-IDEX, meeting with manufacturers in a free-flow
format. This is a unique chance to check out a new product line or
talk to a potential new distributor without the formality of a scheduled
meeting or the informality of a tradeshow. Three 20-minute
open time slots are available for this purpose.
