Gateway to Change.

Industry Panel

The IDEA E-Biz Forum is the only eBusiness event dedicated to business-to-business leaders in the electrical supply chain. The event offers essential training and educational opportunities for everyone who leverages IDEA’s solutions and professional services. Not an IDEA customer? Not a problem. This is your opportunity to discover how to apply the latest eBusiness strategies and tactics, including technology, to help your company see results in just about every part of your business including: product management, operations, sales and marketing, IT/eBusiness, data management, and supply chain management.

The Forum does not focus on a single approach, but rather provides an opportunity for the exchange of information, integration and collaboration throughout the supply chain. The education and experience gained at the Forum are invaluable; the relationships you build are irreplaceable in your professional development. The E-Biz Forum is co-hosted by IDEA, the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED), the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Electro-Federation Canada (EFC), and the National Electrical Manufacturers Representatives Association (NEMRA).

The 2011 theme is "Gateway to Change: Shift Ideas to Results.” The training and educational sessions will provide resources to help you gain a new perspective on your trading partners’ needs, take an integrated approach to your business, and apply best practices to your area of expertise.

Who will you run into at the Forum?

This is your chance to connect and interact with C-level executives, mid-managers, eBusiness professionals and front line IT staff. You’ll find influential colleagues from just about every department within electrical supply chain and other related verticals including retail.
