PRO Group 'Zooms' ahead in June
Denver-based PRO Group's Group Merchandising Conference slated for June 22-24 will move to a digital format using the Zoom platform.
The buying group originally scheduled its event for Atlanta. With the new digital format, PRO Group says it will still allow partner manufacturers and distributor members to meet for one-on-one, pre- scheduled meetings from their home or office.
"We partnered with Zoom to create an amazing virtual meeting experience that rivals being face-to-face,” said Steve Synnott, President and CEO at PRO Group. “We are excited to showcase this technology for the benefit of all PRO Group Member Distributors and Manufacturers.”
In the coming weeks, PRO Group staff will spend time with each attending manufacturer and distributor to ensure they are comfortable and confident in using the Zoom platform well before the event June 22- 24. The platform will have the ability to record video, share screens and chat with each other.
PRO Group says its network includes more than 70 distributors operating more than 140 distribution centers serving all 50 states.
