Hear Distributor Priorities for 2025

Find out what distributor executive teams are planning for the coming year, and how you can be part of the plan, in this unique exchange. It’s a great way to learn about different companies and explore potential partnerships.

In each Distributor Q&A, highlighting a different distributor:

  1. A panel of leading distributor executives introduce their company and discuss relevant markets and product categories.
  2. Manufacturers then have a unique opportunity to ask the panelists specific questions.

The Federal Procurement, NDC and Medline Q&As are open to all attendees. All others, including virtual Distributor Q&A’s, are open to registered manufacturers only. Manufacturer registration for the Streamlining Healthcare Expo & Business Exchange includes admission to the Distributor Q&A Sessions.
