WASHINGTON, DC, Mar. 16, 2015 – Shippers continue to sign up to meet regional delivery companies and offer face-to-face advice on ways to do business with them at the Customized Logistics & Delivery Association’s (CLDA) Annual Meeting May 6 to 9, 2015 at The Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin in Orlando. Over a dozen shippers have already committed and more have voiced their interest in attending.
During two Shipper Sessions, meeting participants will hear directly from over a dozen major shippers who are looking for ways to expand their supply chains locally, regionally, and nationally. These shippers will talk about their companies, their needs, what it takes to do business with them and what upcoming opportunities they have for companies big and small. Conference participants will also be able to have their contact information and business demographics passed along to these companies.
“These shippers are expressly attending the show because they are looking for new providers. Those who attend the show can expect them to reach out either before, during or after the meeting with potential business opportunities,” says Jason Burns, chair of the show and a CLDA Board member.
At this point, the following executives from a dozen shippers have signed up to participate:
Logistics Manager - Abaxis
Sr. Sourcing Manager, Biomedical, Freight, & Fleet Supply Chain Management - NHQ - American Red Cross
Business Development Manager - Bridgestone Americas
Director of Transportation - Cardinal Health

They will also learn about the latest tools from cutting-edge vendors that work with the customized logistics and delivery industry.
