DHAKA: DISTREE Asia Pacific (APAC) 2014 has extended its regional coverage to include leading volume distributors, retailers and e-tailers of technology and consumer electronics (CE) products from more than 25 countries across the region.
DISTREE APAC 2014 will be taken place from October 8-10, 2014 at the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa Resort in Singapore, says a press release.
Event Director for DISTREE APAC Ashish Kapahi said, “DISTREE APAC will host 75 of the leading in-country and regional distributors from across the region and 100 key e-tailers and retailers from 25-plus countries including Bangladesh.”
DISTREE APAC only invites senior channel executives so meetings and discussions are productive and meaningful, he added.
In addition to channel partners from The SAARC region, South East Asia and Oceania, DISTREE APAC 2014 will also include leading distributors and retailers from Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan for the first time in 2014.
The three-day channel event gives vendors and brand owners a unique opportunity to outline their consumer channel strategy, showcase their latest products and pre-schedule a packed agenda of one-on-one meetings with channel executives.
This time the number of partners from Bangladesh are going to participate this mega event and for the 2nd consecutive year that DISTREE has appointed GTM as the local partner in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to research and identify partners who would find events of this nature fruitful in their business.
GTM (Go-To-Market) Corp is a marketing company, headquartered in Sri Lanka, gears clients with all the necessary data and executes marketing plans to ensure a successful marketing campaign with tangible results.
GTM, being relatively new, has a wide range of clientele ranging from technology giants such as Samsung, Oracle, Sony to clothing and retail partners such as Sadakalo.
Arif Hossain Bonny, Operations Head for Bangladesh said, “Our goal is to be the best at what we do and at the same time provide a tangible result for our client.”
DISTREE APAC will unite the top channel buyers of technology and CE products from across this vast region in one place at one time. This presents a unique and powerful opportunity for all vendors looking to manage, build or launch routes-to-market.
DISTREE APAC is where the real decision makers gather and is now a ‘must attend’ event for brands looking to enhance their consumer reach and channel engagement in the region.
HP and Microsoft are already confirmed as Platinum Sponsors at DISTREE APAC 2014 and will deliver keynote speeches updating consumer channel executives on their regional go-to-market strategy.
DISTREE APAC 2014 will also host the ‘APAC Channel Academy: 2014 Awards’ giving channel executives the chance to reward the leading regional brands across multiple product categories.
Vendors will also have the opportunity to participate in the popular ‘60 Seconds to Convince’ awards programme, delivering a one-minute product pitch to channel executives.
DISTREE APAC will host 70 senior distribution executives and 90 key e-tail and retail executives from 25-plus countries.
DISTREE APAC only invites senior retail, e-tail and distributor executives from across the APAC region, so that conversations and negotiations can be held at the right level.
This year some of the most leading IT companies have been invited at the event from Bangladesh. These IT companies are Flora Limited, Smart Technologies (BD) Ltd., Global Brand Pvt. Ltd., RM Systems Ltd., Massive Computers, Ryans IT Limited, CB Net, Computer Point, Electrosonic Ltd., Epsilon Systems & Solution Ltd., Hicon Electronics Ltd, and PC Mart Ltd.
The Events provides its clients with an unparalleled opportunity to meet face-to-face with high-level buyers from key target markets in a productive atmosphere.
The organizer hope “DISTREE APAC 2014 will build on the success of last year’s event as they are offering a unique event format and access to all of the region’s top technology and electronics buyers in one place at one time.
