Europartners Tenth Electronic Component Distribution Forum 2006
23rd & 24th May 2006, Paris
 

"DARING TO BE DIFFERENT"


In an increasingly competitive market, how do distributors differentiate themselves, and what are the risks involved?

The Forum, held every two years, has been running successfully since 1989 and is a must for those interested in the supply chain in electronic components. Senior managers, attending from all over the world, are given a series of high level presentations, describing views on how distribution will develop over the next few years, and have the opportunity to evaluate their own strategies against the thinking of other executives.
