| Article | CHICAGO – The North American Building Material Distribution Association (NBMDA) and the North American Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) invite all industry media contacts to attend a press conference, to speak with association leaders and organizers about the co-sponsored Distributor Marketplace and 2010 Annual Convention. DATE: September 20, 2010 TIME: 2:00 p.m. Eastern/1:00 p.m. Central CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION: Call Toll Free: 1-866-642-1665; Passcode: 636904 The Distributor Marketplace, taking place November 16-18, 2010, at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, CO, will be the first event collaboratively hosted by the two organizations. NAFCD and NBMDA are bringing together manufacturers, distributors and service providers from the floor covering, specialty building material and cabinetry/woodworking industries to network, engage, learn and grow their businesses in one place. The event will provide the opportunity to connect with customers and expand business connections. During the September 20 press conference, members of the press are invited to ask questions regarding speakers, exhibits, networking, and business enhancement opportunities featured at the Distributor Marketplace. “Co-sponsoring a single event allows us to improve our event location, and creates expanded networking for members of both organizations,” said NAFCD President Fred Reitz. “Why not take advantage of new opportunities and benefit from each association’s experiences at the same time?” “We want to make sure that NBMDA takes advantage of new opportunities that arise, which will bring forth new and enhanced value for our member firms,” said NBMDA President Bill Delaney. “Co-sponsoring our annual convention with NAFCD accomplishes this objective.” About NAFCD NAFCD is a North American, not-for-profit trade association serving distributors and suppliers of floor covering materials and related products.
