| 1/9/2009 - ECA announces Marketplace 2009 event |
Express Carriers Association will hold their annual Marketplace event at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, Ill., April 14-16, 2009. Carriers, Shippers and Vendors will gather and hold over 2400 face-to-face interviews over 48 hours. The meeting also serve as the annual gathering for all ECA members.
ECA Marketplace 2009 is a unique conference where Shippers are introduced to niche Carriers at pre-scheduled one-on-one appointments. New relationships are formed, agreements with current customers are solidified, and new markets can be tapped in just a few short hours. The Marketplace provides targeted networking and sales opportunities in an organized, professional setting.
ECA President Stuart Hyden points to the unique format as one reason why the event is so successful. He states that the Marketplace often reminds attendees of "speed dating for business." With so many business options in such a short timeframe, it`s easy to see why. Add the special networking events planned for this April event, as well as an enhanced educational program, and it is obvious that there will be something for everyone at the 2009 Marketplace, allowing you to experience top-notch networking as well as the excitement and vitality of downtown Chicago.
Sponsorship and exhibit opportunities are available now. Registration will be available soon. Carrier members are eligible to attend, as well as Shipper and Vendor members/non-members (there is a higher fee in some cases for non-members). For more information, to register for the meeting, or to join ECA, visit the association`s official web site, www.expresscarriers.org, or call 1-866-322-7447.
