Participants in an interactive keynote presentation at the American Supply Association's recent convention in Las Vegas projected an economic turnaround sometime next year.
Keynote speaker J. Michael Marks, president and co-founder of Indian River Consulting Group, asked the audience what they projected for the economy over the next 18 months. Participants included 58% distributors, 27% manufacturers and 15% identified as "other," such as consultants and magazine editors.
