Distributors & Clients Meet with Suppliers
On Monday April 9th, local distributors and their clients were hosted by a great group of exhibitors at the Scottsdale Hilton, 6333 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85250, from 2 to 5 pm. We enjoyed a relaxed, informal atmosphere and got to have some great conversations.
If you missed out on this event, watch for other opportunities to network with our supplier community coming up later in the year!
