The Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, hosted 150 participants during the newly formed Blue Hawk Distribution Cooperative's first ever spring member meeting. The two-day gathering began with a member and vendor face-to-face session. During this session, members were able to talk to the 26 vendor companies in attendance on a rotating 10-minute meeting schedule. Each vendor met with approximately 25 decision makers, all from different member companies. The entire session yielded 1,045 face-to-face appointments.
After this all-day session, members and vendors were invited to a dinner reception where Blue Hawk recognized all of its new members and presented them with their stock certificates. Blue Hawk also recognized its board of directors, vendor committee, and vendor partners.
