American Solutions for Business (ASB) recently held its annual Accelerate conference, which took place from May 20 to May 23 at the Embassy Suites and Convention Center in St. Charles, MO. The event brought together 80 ASB attendees and 28 suppliers for suite-style meetings and social events, with a focus on face-to-face networking, professional education, and strategies for mutual success.
One highlight of the conference was the “New Patriot Pavilion,” which provided ASB sales associates with an additional platform to connect with suppliers recently added to the firm’s patriot program, a preferred vendor list. Attendees also received event-branded merchandise and had the opportunity to tour Top 40 supplier Cap America’s facility.
Dana Zezzo, ASB’s vice president of vendor relations, marketing, and events, emphasized the importance of vendor partners, sales associates, and the home office team in making Accelerate a success. The conference aimed to help qualifying salespeople grow their businesses and better serve their customers through networking, learning opportunities, and collaborative efforts.
Social events at the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten and a facility tour of Cap America were highlights of the conference, along with an offsite dinner. ASB also raised $5,500 for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of St. Louis, showing support for families during their stays and the continued growth of the organization.
With reported 2022 North American promotional product revenue of $273.6 million, American Solutions for Business ranked 12th on Counselor’s list of the largest distributors in the industry. The new list will provide updated rankings for industry leaders this summer
