The LatAm Strategy Forum unites the most senior vendor, distributor and retailer executives operating in the region's ICT & CE channel. This private 'invitation only' session aims to drive greater cooperation and understanding between the major channel stakeholders to encourage further channel development and growth within the market. Featuring presentations, interactive discussions and a review of market conditions during the past year, the Strategy Forum offers deep insight and tangible business benefits for all attendees. The DISTREE Latin America Strategy Forum is an independent, vendor neutral, invitation-only event that takes place away from the main exhibition.
