• "One of the best things about attending the ECIA Executive Conference as a rep is the ability to network with other executives from both our channel partners as well as our manufacturers. Congregating with this level of attendee is invaluable, because we are all in the same place spending time with each other, and hearing the same message, together. Reps do get to see our executive level manufacturers at times throughout the year, but we don’t always have as many opportunities to visit with the corporate level executives from distribution as a whole, and the ECIA Executive Conference affords us with just that opportunity. We also of course relish the chance to mingle with our other rep counterparts as well during this event! The content for the ECIA Executive Conference is developed with this executive level attendee list in mind…creating messages and conversations that are exactly what the executive management wants to discuss and learn more about, regardless of if you’re a rep, distributor, or manufacturer." - Tobi Cornell, President, Kruvand Associates
