Town Halls serve as a platform for OEMs to share business updates and strategic initiatives with suppliers. These events also offer suppliers the unique opportunity to pose questions to OEM executives they might not encounter otherwise. Additionally, exclusive networking opportunities are provided for various commodity groups during the Town Halls.Top of Form
