The
PMANC Showcase has long been considered the best regional
trade show in the country. With over 500 quality
distributors registered each year, the PMANC Showcase—in an
intimate setting and a convenient location—is definitely the
not-to-be-missed show of the year!
Wednesday’s schedule includes exhibit
setup, Professional Development sessions and the New
Products Forum–starring the sales persons of the New Product
Forum items. Immediately following the New Products Forum is
our Promotional Fiesta–a great networking event and a time
to relax and have some fun. Thursday’s trade show promises
to be an exceptional show with opportunities to meet with
distributors, introduce your products and exchange ideas—any
of which could be worth thousands of dollars.
Back by popular demand is the PMANC New
Product Area. Your entries will be featured on the show
floor and may be used in the Wednesday afternoon seminar.
