Today, the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) welcomed 666 members and industry leaders for its highly anticipated 2024 Annual Meeting held in La Quinta, California. The event, which brings together chemical distribution industry thought leaders, suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers to discuss transformative industry trends, marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of ACD’s rebrand from the National Association for Chemical Distributors (NACD) and its new tagline, “Empowered Performance, Unrivaled Expertise.”
This year’s theme, “Connecting the Experts Our World Depends On,” builds upon ACD’s rebrand to embrace all the organization does to back the chemical distribution experts who ensure high-quality products that are so essential to our daily lives get where they need to be, when they need to be there.
“Every year, leaders in the chemical distribution industry gather at the Annual Meeting to examine industry trends, economic shifts, and the ever-changing regulatory environment that impacts businesses both large and small,” said Meg Gluth, ACD Annual Meeting Chair and President and Owner of Catalynt Solutions, Inc. “In the year since our rebrand, ACD has demonstrated unwavering dedication to advancing the chemical distribution industry. This Annual Meeting is a unique opportunity for us to come together, share knowledge, and forge the future of our industry.”
The 2024 Annual Meeting will explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping chemical distribution, effective crisis communication, and leadership development initiatives. Some of the session spotlights include:
