General Session

Inside the Fish Bowl

Thursday, May 18 2006
2:45 pm - 4:00 pm

Ever been to an aquarium? Weren't you fascinated by the large tanks of marine life, co-existing all together? Eels, rays, starfish, sharks, and guppies... all trying to survive in the same space. Kind of like the office products industry, right?

This year's General Session will be different from any held before. We have put together a panel of office products industry leaders to participate in a panel discussion covering a wide range of topics relevant to independent dealers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and dealer groups. Steve Hilleard, CEO of OPI, will serve as moderator of the panel discussion, which will have an open format, with questions posed by Steve, as well as from the audience of is.group dealers, manufacturer partners, and guests.

Participants include representatives from the following companies:

• BPGI - Jeff Vega
• NOPA - Chris Bates
• ActionEmco - Bob Scribner
• United Stationers - Dick Gochnauer
• S.P. Richards - Jim O'Brien
• Mead Products - Bill Cardone
• Acco - Wally Schubel
• OEC Office Plus - Gerri Kennedy-Holland
• Radston's Office Plus - Diane Griffin
