"Synergy, Strength, Support" - Theme for VIPAR HD 2011 Annual Business Conference

Sept. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Crystal Lake, IL – United under the theme: "Synergy, Strength, Support,” the 2011 VIPAR Heavy Duty Annual Business Conference will be held October 16-21 at the JW Marriott Starr Pass in Tucson, Ariz. The Annual Business Conference brings together VIPAR Heavy Duty distributors, supplier partners, and industry associates to facilitate the dynamic exchange of ideas and information to benefit all participants.

"Our theme this year represents three core principles represented by VIPAR Heavy Duty," said Steve Crowley, president and CEO, VIPAR Heavy Duty. "Appropriately, these principles of synergy, strength and support also exist between our company, our stockholders, and our suppliers. It further demonstrates how our combined abilities and efforts increase by a power of three when working together toward the same goals."

To enhance distributor value, VIPAR Heavy Duty has added three specialty breakout sessions to this year's meeting that provide immediate takeaway value. The concurrent breakout sessions will look at how mobile technology can achieve greater efficiencies, success strategies for inventory and supply chain management, and transforming company culture to become customer service focused. The sessions are designed so that all VIPAR Heavy Duty stockholders have the opportunity to attend each session.

The 2011 VIPAR Heavy Duty Annual Business Conference will include a tradeshow, one-on-one stockholder/supplier partner meetings, and the annual stockholders meeting. In addition, a well-known and respected motivational speaker will address attendees during lunch on Thursday, October 20. The event kicks-off with a welcome reception on Sunday, October 16.
