What is the Group Merchandising Conference?
The 2021 Group Merchandising Conference will be held in a virtual format using the Zoom Meeting platform June 21-24, 2021. Attendees will have the opportunity to hold private, 30-minute pre-scheduled video conferences much in the same way they would in person.
The Zoom Meeting platform will allow Manufacturers to promote and share their products with video and screen and file sharing capabilities that will allow them to share literature and other information with the touch of a button. This will allow Distributor buyers to purchase retail displays, take advantage of supplier promotions, learn about new products and explore targeted assortments. This virtual format is great for both new and longtime group vendors.
“I truly believe this is the single most effective format going on anywhere in the industry. Other buying groups should learn from this.”
