IWDC Member companies are able to leverage their
buying power and promote the sharing of best practices, which helps them grow
their businesses in today’s ever more competitive and demanding welding and
gases industries.
All of this starts with the owners of these Member
companies. It’s our job at the IWDC to provide an environment where owners can
come together and learn about each other’s business, share insight into their respective
marketplaces and industries, and network with one another. That’s where the annual
IWDC Owners Meeting comes in.
The Owners Meeting is a 3- to 4-day Member-exclusive
event consisting of various business sessions, roundtables, seminars, and
networking receptions. Owners can expect to listen in on economic and industry-related
speakers that broach topics such as profits, performance, national competition,
independent companies, mergers and acquisitions, and much more.
In the course of the meeting, owners are able to
share information, experiences, and best practices with like-minded business
associates. This has proven many times over to open up boundless opportunities.
The IWDC staff also reports on updates and operations within the cooperative, thus
making owners aware of the successes achieved on their behalf and for their
benefit.

Meeting, please contact the IWDC.
