The GAWDA Networking 360 Event kicks off the First Day of the 2025 GAWDA Annual Convention
With the party and revelry out of the way, the Business of the 2025 GAWDA Annual Convention kicked off on Thursday morning with the fourth annual return of the Networking 360 Program. Networking 360 is like speed dating for GAWDA Members, as 50 distributors are visited by 100 suppliers for 10 5 minute sessions. The event, which also featured a grab-and-go breakfast for participants, ran from 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. in the same Tampa Bay Ballroom pre-function area that hosted last night’s party. The idea behind Networking 360 is to grease the skids for further conversation to take place at the Contact Booth Program directly following it. Thank you to the 150 GAWDA Members who participated. This event wouldn’t be as successful as it is without your help and participation!
