Due to the pandemic, STAFDA conducted “Virtual Anaheim” instead of the planned 44th annual convention in Southern California.

A total of 85 exhibitors and 14 Tech vendors held virtual distributor and rep members meetings and created engaging demos.  Since STAFDA is a global association, meeting times were available 24 hours.  More than 225 demos and 100 one-on-one meetings were held from Monday at 12:30 p.m. to Tuesday at 12:30 p.m.

STAFDA’s 45th annual convention is scheduled November 7-9, 2021, in Charlotte.  Web: STAFDA.org
