2009 NAW Executive Summit

  • The 2009 NAW Executive Summit focuses on the most important issue facing you in the coming year: the economy. We know your time is valuable, so we won’t tell you what you already know—that “the economy is challenging.” Instead, we’ll tell you what other wholesaler-distributors are doing today to succeed despite difficult economic conditions.

    Billion Dollar Company CIO Roundtable

    O'Hare Hilton

    The NAW Billion Dollar Company CIO Roundtable for direct members was created as a new mechanism for the CIO of large distribution enterprises to network with non-competing peers in multiple lines of trade on key technology issues.

    Similar to other billion dollar roundtables NAW has created for the CFO, Operations, and Human Resource executives, this by invitation roundtable is composed of executives from billion dollar companies that meet in Chicago two times per year. This highly interactive group consists of the SENIOR-MOST technology executive or CIO. The annual fee is $1,700 per member, which covers meeting costs for two events in a twelve month cycle. Participants are expected to cover the cost of their hotel and travel. Once the annual fee is paid, there are no additional fees to attend the meetings, which will last one day beginning with a reception and dinner the evening before.

    The participating companies can also name an alternate who can take the place of the CIO, should that person be unable to attend the scheduled meeting.
