PAFED Spring Conference
 You Are Cordially Invited to Attend the Spring Conference in Gettysburg, PA on April 17-18, 2012 to be held at the "historic" Gettysburg Hotel.

This year's event continues the "business" theme of the last several Spring Conferences.

Seminar sessions at the conference will focus on such issues as:
·         technology trends and how you can use your wireless devices for improving communication and keeping track of expenses/costs,
·         customer service programs and how to identify the tools necessary to review and improve the elements of customer service, and
·         financial strategies and the hows and how not's in relation to both business and personal investing.
Not a distributor member of PAFED ?   Then please consider this your personal invitation to come and see what your industry peers are doing to weather the current economic storm and identify strategies which may help your business improve your profitability.

For our industry vendors and suppliers, while this conference does not include a table top display area, it does however afford numerous networking and sponsorship opportunities where you can meet, interact and discuss business opportunities with the many distributors in attendance.  Please review the enclosed registration form to see what participation / sponsorship opportunities may suite your business.


Whether you are a fire equipment distributor, or an industry vendor and supplier, business is all about meeting people with common interests and challenges and working together to develop a "win / win" business relationship.
  
You owe it to yourself to attend the PAFED 2012 Spring Business Conference...

I hope you will accept our invitation.  We look forward to seeing you in Gettysburg, PA.

2012 PAFED Spring Conference Registration Form is available on the PAFED Website (www.PAFED.com).
