What NASSD is

Access

The people who can say yes

Attendees are presidents, CEOs, owners, and VPs on both sides. Distributors meet the executive who sets the program, not a territory rep. Manufacturers meet the owner who decides what gets stocked, not a buyer relaying a policy.

Scale

Small enough to matter

Roughly two dozen member companies attend. That is the point. Everyone meets everyone, and a first conversation on Monday can be a signed line by Wednesday.

Return

A year of travel in three days

For a distributor, twenty line reviews without twenty flights. For a manufacturer, a read on demand across the entire channel in one trip instead of a quarter spent visiting branches one at a time.

How it works

01

Apply

Your company is reviewed against NASSD's membership criteria and approved by the board.

02

Rank your matches

Before the Summit, you submit which companies you most want time with.

03

Get your schedule

You arrive with a personal itinerary — every meeting, room, and time already set.

04

Three days

Twenty executive sessions, a distributor round table, a keynote, and the meals and golf where the rest of the work actually gets done.

05

Follow through

Lines added, terms revisited, programs opened. Members are listed in the NASSD directory and may use the NASSD mark year-round.
