“We truly believe the simplicity of this event is what our industry was looking for and what keeps it going year after year,” the NCFA stated. “The NCFA Distributor Social brings together top distributors and suppliers in the fastener industry for three hours of networking. There are no booths to drag in and set-up. You are not working behind a table all evening hoping a prospective customer or a current customer heads your way.”

Last year there were more than 200 attendees.

There will be discounted rooms at the Crowne Plaza. Tel: 866 840-0582 and ask for the NCFA Rate.
