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.
