Feb. 22, 2013—The annual Federated Auto Parts national membership meeting will feature a new venue this year, the Federated Vendor Expo.
The expo will allow Federated members and manufacturing partners an additional opportunity to interact and network.
“The goal of every annual meeting is to create an efficient environment for members and suppliers to meet and communicate,” said Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts. “As our membership expands and we add more suppliers, the Federated Vendor Expo is the ideal addition to the scheduled meetings and social events that have historically made up our national meeting. The booth environment of the Vendor Expo provides our members with more access to more supplier partners for shorter, less formal meetings.”
In addition to the new expo, the membership meeting will feature events covering a variety of topics, including technology, employee health care, inventory management and marketing.
This year’s meeting will be held April 24-27 at the Caribe Royale Hotel and Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
