RETURN OF THE HIGHLY VALUED DBX - READY TO DO BUSINESS!
CONNECTING LIVE: We know face-to-face is the best way to get business done in our industry. Being behind a computer screen doesn’t cut it. Our industry leading Business Summit facilitates fast and focused speed meetings & networking opportunities.
The DBX (Distribution Canada Inc Business Exchange) facilitates a series of fast and focused speed networking encounters for Canadian Retailers and Supplier Partners. It allows for discussion on new products and promotions, individual business reviews, overview of DCI programs, and next steps to strengthen business relationships. After the conclusion of the Business Summit, every participant is encouraged to follow up with their meetings post-DBX, as it is an essential part of maximizing the value of the process.
PARTNER DEALS AND POWER BUYS: Whether it be aggressive pricing on Power Buy deals, service specials, or promotions, CIGBA/DCI Members are encouraged to access the curated Partner Deals and Power Buys for the June Partner of the Month as it will most likely be the most aggressive and diverse group of deals to be presented all year!
CELEBRATE & WIN: Members who attend the CIGBA/DCI Business Summit 2026 will have a chance to win a FREE 2027 CIGBA/DCI Membership!
