NAED Western in San Diego Enjoys Solid Attendance

Despite the down economy, the NAED Western Conference in San Diego this week drew an estimated 175 distributor attendees from 68 electrical supply houses and 25 independent manufacturers' reps from 11 firms covering the Western region. The conference seemed bigger than the past few NAED Western meetings and the general mood of attendees was pretty optimistic. Two of the seminars at the meeting drew particularly good crowds – “Capitalizing on Distributor Capabilities in Energy Markets” by Fred Paris, Paris Consulting Associates, Plymouth, Mass., and “How to Position Yourself as an Energy Expert” by Jerry Yudelson, Yudelson Associates ,Tucson, Ariz.
