Abest practices roundtable discussion was one of many high points during the recent 87th annual Southern Wholesalers Association Convention on Hilton Head Island, S.C. This year’s convention drew more than 650 attendees to the Hilton Head Marriott Resort and Spa.
As opposed to a previous SWA Convention roundtable forum where small groups of distributors and manufacturers sat at a podium and fielded questions from attendees, this year’s format had attendees break into small groups, discuss hot-button topics and then report their findings to the overall group. Outgoing SWA President Travis Elrod (DeVore & Johnson) was the moderator.
