Meetings:

Jim will be happy to meet people, time permitting, during the networking portions of our event.

He will also have limited time to meet one-on-one with a few selected companies. These meetings will be with companies that can benefit most from his experience – companies that intend to use channels, whether brick and mortar or e-tailing, to reach customers. They should have a product on the market or be close to bringing the product to market, and should have the resources to embark on a channel program.
