The Integrated Supply Network (ISN) hosted 3,500 attendees at Tool Dealer Expo 2015 in Orlando, Fla., at the Gaylord Palms Resort June 26-27, 2015. This is one of the industry’s largest tool and equipment tradeshows for suppliers and distributors.
ISN partners with exhibiting vendors to provide the chance to win prizes, such as a brand new Chevy Camaro, and $20,000 cash.
ISN also partners with suppliers to provide training, live show floor demos and the introduction of many new products. Tool Dealer Expo offered training sessions from Launch, Ingersoll Rand, Bartec, OTC, Autel, Milwaukee, Sunex and other participating vendors. ISN also hosted training sessions on the new ToolWeb.com and MobileDealer.com websites. A sneak peek at the new full line catalog, Tool Book, was also shared with all attendees and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
