MESSAGE FROM THE INCOMING PRESIDENT
Long-term strategies combined with short-term flexibility and agility to move things around is the way forward. Innovation in our market approach and “flexibility” as our sole weapon to get through the market spiral will help us to move faster and better than anyone else. Using the EPTDA’s know-how and experience, we can monitor the shifts in trends and act quickly and decisively. We are grateful for the many opportunities the EPTDA gives us to have dialogues with manufacturers and distributors, so that together we can make smarter decisions much faster than – let’s say – non-members. The EPTDA provides the necessary intelligence, trend analysis, contacts into the market and impression of the shape of the recovery. This knowledge base today brings us remarkable benefits and enables us to gain a larger share of the market.
MESSAGE FROM THE MANUFACTURER COUNCIL & CONVENTION CHAIR
In this current climate of differing experiences across the European continent, the EPTDA has an important new relevance, and it gives manufacturers a hugely valuable opportunity to share experiences from all their different regions. It is in all our interests to drive our industry forward, across Europe – by working together, not at varying speeds and levels of success. Together, as ambassadors and as a premier community of reputable and qualified companies in the PT/MC industry, we must join forces to help our suppliers/ customers/ members face the upcoming battles and challenges. With valuable intelligence tools and economic forecast reports, we will strive to keep our members informed of the shifts in the global economy and the impact on our business strategies.
MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
From world-class economists and speakers, our successful Next Generation event, the Distribution Forum to the highly popular MD-IDEX (Manufacturer-Distributor Idea Exchange), we promise this year again to bring you a highly versatile, educational and thoughtprovoking programme. Tailored to help you and your business move forward, this programme is geared to make sense of the ongoing economic challenges and give insight into the future challenges and opportunities – learning from our past to define a better future
