Join us at the 2025 Marketing & Distribution Convention: Celebrating 75 Years of Innovation!
The Marketing & Distribution Convention offers something for everyone — from dynamic speakers and networking events to independent meetings, committee sessions, and special gatherings that spark unexpected opportunities.
This year’s convention also marks FEMA’s 75th Anniversary, a special milestone celebrating decades of innovation, growth, and industry leadership. Attendees will receive a commemorative 75th Anniversary book to take home as a keepsake of this event.
We get questions about what to attend every year — from first-timers and veterans alike. Our advice: ask us. We love questions, and we’re here to help you make the most of your time.
“This convention offers unmatched opportunities to build relationships and exchange ideas,” says Marc Ivey, FEMA Board President. “Whether you’re exploring new product lines, refining strategies, or tackling shared challenges, the conversations here are invaluable. What might normally take months of calls and meetings can happen in just a few days.”
Two Conventions, One Location
This year’s event is actually two conventions in one, with FEMA overlapping schedules with the Âé¶ąapp Marketing & Distribution Association (EMDA). This creates opportunities for manufacturers to meet wholesalers and independent reps and for distribution professionals to discover new product lines and partnerships.
We clearly mark which sessions are FEMA-only and which are joint with EMDA, but if you’re unsure, just ask — it’s a friendly, collaborative environment.
Your Name Badge = All-Access
Every registrant and guest receives a name badge, which acts as a ticket to nearly every session. Want to attend the Technology Council meeting? Your badge gets you in. Does your guest want to join a session? The badge works for them, too.
