E1 Blitz Recap: A Successful Two-Day Supplier Showcase

We recently wrapped up the E1 Blitz, a dynamic two-day event featuring twelve of IDCO’s top suppliers, six of whom were showcased daily. The event was structured to provide in-depth insights into each supplier’s unique offerings and maximize learning and networking opportunities for our new members.

Tailored for members who joined within the last two years, the E1 Blitz was a fantastic chance to enhance product and company knowledge, build strong relationships, and explore new opportunities. As a perfect precursor to our upcoming November Expo, it allowed participants to engage with key suppliers and prepare for future collaborations.

Stay tuned for more events like this, where you can continue enhancing your expertise and growing your IDCO community network. Thank you to everyone who participated and made the E1 Blitz a success.
