The highlight of the conference is 30-minute private, scheduled appointments with Distributor buyers visiting each Manufacturer’s living room suite.

Manufacturers set up their living room suites to combine merchandising display with exhibits, sample product, literature and information to assist Distributor buyers in purchasing retail displays, supplier promotions, new products and targeted assortments. The GMC is a great venue for both new group suppliers and long-time group vendors.
