Goals include:

• Developing strategic partnerships around the globe to help identify OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partners and other manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other key players.
• Providing access to the OEM partners, distributors, retailers, manufacturers and other key players through programs and events.
