The Appleton, Wisconsin-based distributor, AIA Corporation held its second-annual Supplier Summit in Chicago last month.

AIA brought 36 attendees from AIA’s Platinum MVP and the top 12 supplier communities together with AIA leadership in a forum for engaging, educational and collaborative discussion.

AIA CEO Matt Gresge opened the summit with a review of AIA's 2019 performance, as well as goals for 2020. Various AIA leadership team members also discussed how suppliers can become more engaged with AIA.

“The goal of the AIA Supplier Summit is to create an intimate forum where we provide our supplier partners with an inside look at AIA and identify new and better ways to help them grow their businesses,” says Gresge.

He further added, “This only happens when all parties take the time to step back, listen to each other and ideate together. In today’s fast-paced, quickly changing world, this is easier said than done. The summit ensures this happens, and the result is tangible––stronger relationships and thriving businesses.”
