GMDC's SEC format will be featured at the 2011 HBW Conference

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Global Market Development Center on Thursday announced that its 2011 HBW Conference, which will be held in Phoenix from Sept. 9 to 12, will feature the Senior Executive Conference for the sixth time.

The SEC format helps foster business development opportunities and consists of 40-minute appointments that took place in more relaxed venues than the traditional controlled casual conferences.

This year, as many as 60 member companies have registered to participate, GMDC said.

“The SEC meetings have proven to be an excellent forum to exchange strategies and tactics with our key vendor partners," Meijer VP drug store Nat Love said. "We have participated in the SEC meetings every year and use them for last-minute fourth-quarter opportunities and for setting the stage for the upcoming year.”
