The 2006 AWMA Summit & Business Exchange (ABX) will be held Sept. 11-14, 2006 at the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas. Last year’s Summit & ABX, held in Key Biscayne, FL included a day of business sessions; concurrent roundtables; two days of scheduled face-to-face meetings between distributors and manufacturers; and several receptions and other networking opportunities. Participants consistently describe the ABX meetings as worthwhile and a huge success. To meet increased member requests to attend, the 2006 Distribution Summit will include even more ABX meetings.
