The Material Handling Equipment Distributors' Association (MHEDA) will hold its 50th annual convention from April 30 to May 4 in Arizona.

Held at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona, the convention's focus is on "how you can transform your company". Speakers will cover topics ranging from sales to succession planning.

Learn about the latest products at the exhibitors' showcase and share your views at a manufacturer-distributor relationship forum and roundtable discussion.

According to the MHEDA website, the convention is a chance to step away from the daily grind and immerse yourself in new ideas, new partnerships and new perspectives.

On Monday, May 2, MHEDA president David Griffith will talk on the state of the association and celebrate the association's 50 years of serving the industry.

Speaker and bestselling author Dr Kevin Freiberg will present the keynote presentation, titled 'Blow the doors off business as usual'.
