North Coast Announces Event To Replace Cancelled 2009 NIFS/East
The North Coast Fastener Association is inviting distributors to a networking event to replace the cancelled 2009 National Industrial Fastener Show/East in Columbus.
The distributor social will be 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, 2009, at the Sheraton Hotel in the Cleveland suburb of Independence, OH. Up to five pre-registered employees of distribution companies will be admitted free.
NIFS/East had become “more of a regional show heavily attended by distributors in Ohio” and neighboring states, NCFA event co-chairs Marty Nolan and George Hunt III wrote. “Due to the void that is left by the vacancy of this regional show, the NCFA has both the opportunity and obligation of orchestrating a networking platform that will enhance communication and interaction amongst suppliers and distributors.”
The networking event is “constructed to allow purchasing agents, buyers, inside sales representatives and other key personnel of your distributor company an opportunity to mingle with several contacts associated with the industry’s top suppliers.”
NCFA has announced 24 suppliers thus far are participating as sponsors.
The deadline for preregistering is May 8. For information contact Lisa Graham. Tel: 440 975-9503 E-mail: Lgraham@ncfaonline.com
NIFS has announced plans for a May 26, 2010, East show in Columbus.
