A Member’s Perspective:
Making Connections at the Summit

John Tye

Some members come to the Supply Summit for the educational sessions. Others for the networking potential. We hear too that it’s an opportunity to gain new perspectives and return home energized and ready to solve problems.

Here is one member’s take on the Supplier Product Showcase: “You walk by a table and look at something, and you say, ‘That’s the sort of thing we were looking for, but it needs to be like this. Can you make it like this?’ In most cases, the answer is ‘If you want to buy it, we can make it.’ ”
