Message From The Editor
 Well, it seems as though 2022 has finally arrived! The weather is getting nicer and finally we are once again able to come together for tradeshows and conferences. And I can certainly say after attending a few over the last few months that most are very happy to be out making connections again. At the beginning of June EFC held its annual conference in-person, and what an event it was, bringing together many distribution and manufacturing giants from across the country. Learn about the highlights of the EFC conference in the article below by Daniela De Marco, Marketing Manager, EFC. And be sure to check out all the changes being made across the industry and programs being developed to support it. And on that note please enjoy this issue of CEW and the ability to engage with your peers once again. |
