ACDI and KPAX Shine at KM High Velocity Dealer Summit
Led by President and CEO Josh Lane, Senior Product Manager David Brown, and Regional Solutions Director Rich O’Boyle, ACDI was well represented at the Konica Minolta High Velocity Dealer Summit held this month in Chicago. Following a successful meeting with partners earlier this year in Sarasota, Florida, the event was Konica Minolta’s second High Velocity Dealer Summit of 2024. It provided an ideal setting for collaboration between Konica Minolta and its partners to accelerate market share and improve profitability.
About the Summit
With a smaller, more intimate gathering of less than 100 dealer representatives and five media analysts, the High Velocity Dealer Summit in Chicago provided a unique opportunity for connection. By design, the scaled-down format allowed for increased accessibility between Konica Minolta’s extensive team and dealer attendees, fostering a relaxed atmosphere conducive to networking.
The more intimate setting led to valuable collaboration between our ACDI representatives with Konica Minolta and Distribution Management, working together to bring exciting solutions to the channel that will streamline productivity and success. As part of its core structure, the event also included keynote addresses from executive leadership and specialized breakout sessions tailored to dealer principals, sales, and service teams. Lane was featured on several panel discussions alongside Konica Minolta and Distribution Management representatives.
“Nothing gets our team fired up quite like engaging and collaborating with dealers and partners as we work together to promote growth and diversification across the imaging channel,” Lane said. “All of us at ACDI are grateful to Konica Minolta for hosting such an innovative event and giving us the opportunity to share more about ACDI and our portfolio of business solutions and services.”
ACDI & Konica Minolta
At ACDI, we’re proud to drive efficiency and productivity for thousands of organizations through global distribution and partnerships with the most prominent copier and printer manufacturers, including Konica Minolta. That partnership was on full display during the High Velocity Dealer Summit with breakout sessions and presentations on digital transformation solutions, marketing programs, and vertical market strategies. Our team also had the opportunity to promote Konica Minolta’s adoption of KPAX into its solution portfolio and the upcoming integration with its own VCARE solution.
“Our team prides itself on delivering world-class integrated software and hardware solutions through proven innovation, service, and culture,” said Lane. “We’re very excited to have Konica Minolta adopt KPAX into its solution portfolio and look forward to seeing the product reinvent printer fleet management for dealers everywhere.”
