Dynamic Distribution Lab

The Distribution Business Management Executive Educational Conference offers a one-of-a-kind distribution lab featuring cutting edge solutions for the distribution industry. Lab participants include leading companies from consulting, software, hardware, transportation and materials handling industries. This unique educational exhibit is the only applied technology exhibit that allows attendees to learn how to solve their own distribution and logistics problems, in an interactive hands-on environment. All participating companies collaborate in an educational environment to create a unique hands-on course that is taught to distribution professionals over the course of a three-day period. The course provides a high-level overview of the supply chain with particular emphasis on streamlining distribution operations.

The applied technology course is offered as a single track with fifteen classes presented over two days. Each class is supervised by a university professor to ensure absolute objectivity and accuracy of the subject matter.

A team of systems and project engineers organize the lab to incorporate state-of-the-art solutions, advanced technology and equipment covering the supply chain and distribution industry. The lab has been the educational hallmark for the association over the last decade.

Through participant and attendee input the lab continues to evolve and improve.

The lab is part of a four credit class for our Certificate of Advanced Education which leads to a Specialists Diploma in Distribution, Business Management, (SDBM). This program is overseen by a diverse University Board with over sixty universities represented by professors from many of the world’s leading academic institutions. The 2006 diploma is being awarded by a leading University. This program is only open to qualified professionals in distribution, logistics and supply chain management.
Incorporating the lab into the educational program, allows each participating company to inform attendees about the benefits of their products or services. Working closely with the various universities involved gives your company additional contacts within our industry. Participation in this educational atmosphere, which includes many networking opportunities, encourages the formation of solid relationships with attendees (many of whom will become prospects).
New relationships continue to develop with sponsoring publications. This expanded involvement brings with it, monthly editorial features on the Dynamic Distribution Lab and the Distribution Business Management Conference. Monthly coverage on the exciting developments taking place within this unique hands on learning environment will provide valuable marketing opportunities to corporations involved in the lab.
The Lunch and Learn sessions are an added marketing and networking tool for 2006. This year the Association will offer exhibitors the opportunity to sponsor a Lunch and Learn Table at the conference where they may choose a topic of their choice and offer lunch and education to an audience of ten luncheon attendees.
