Mississauga, ON – April 29, 2014 – Tech Data Canada, a leading distributor of IT products, logistics management and other value-added services, kicked off its annual Business Builder Tour last week with its first stop in Ottawa. Once again, the tour includes stops in six major cities across Canada including: Ottawa, Québec City, Montréal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. Solution providers had the opportunity to interact with leading IT hardware and software manufacturers along with Tech Data executives to discuss strategies and opportunities. Industry solution seminars provided insight into current technology trends and how to meet growing end user demands.
Close to 1,000 solution providers attend the six city tour across Canada each year. It is an opportunity to meet industry experts for the first time and to build upon existing relationships.
