ERA's 46th Management & Marketing Conference

ERA is delighted to announce its
46th Management and Marketing Conference
scheduled Oct. 7-10, 2013, at the Oak Brook Hills Marriott Resort in Oak Brook (Chicago), IL.

It is a daunting challenge to keep "one-upping" the last two ERA Conferences, but we firmly believe we are doing so with this year's program. We urge you to "test" our confidence by joining us in October to experience several new features and key changes that we trust will yield a high-value ROI for you and your company.

WHAT'S NEW OR CHANGING:

On Monday evening the conference opens with a free Networking Dinner for all early arrivals.
Breakfast and lunch on Tuesday have been added to the agenda at no extra cost.
The special presentations by distribution executives are scheduled on Tuesday morning as part of the main conference.
In addition to the distributors' general sessions, they will each be available in two 30-minute breakouts to answer questions and talk informally with small groups of attendees.
As attendees requested in their 2011 evaluations, the number of general sessions is being reduced, and the breakout offerings are being increased. A dozen different breakouts are on the agenda.
Also, almost all breakouts will be scheduled twice to allow you maximum flexibility in customizing your own schedule.
For your convenience this year, all registration is being handled online. For payment by check, the form can be printed and mailed.

Please read about the conference details, and visit era.org regularly for updates. Most importantly, remember that the ERA Conference is the ONLY opportunity for electronics industry reps, manufacturers and distributors to CONNECT ... BUILD ... and PROSPER together in an environment dedicated to learning and the sharing of best practices.

We look forward to seeing you in October!
