Now that ISH North America is moving to a biennial event, with its next trade show scheduled for Sept. 28-30, 2006, in Chicago, the American Supply Association and the Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors - National Association have announced they will co-host Network '05 next September. This will provide one consolidated industry program that will include the annual meetings of both groups, along with a new combined series of programs that will bring together manufacturers, wholesalers and contractors in a collaborative setting for the first time in history.
A highlight of Network '05 will be the “Channel Marketplace,” a one-day table-top event that will offer manufacturer executives the opportunity to have more intimate discussions with their distributor and contractor customers, with the emphasis on relationship-building.
