Mark your calendar: OPEESA’s 2027 Annual Meeting runs February 21–24 at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach, Florida. Registration opens this fall for member companies.
The Annual Meeting is the year’s must-attend event for distributor and manufacturer members — the one week where the channel’s education sessions, benchmarking discussion, and relationship-building all happen under one roof. For many members, the relationships built here carry more value than the dues themselves: knowing exactly who to call when something isn’t working in the business, because you met them at an OPEESA meeting.
Clearwater Beach gives this year’s meeting a warm-weather February setting for members traveling in from colder parts of the country, with the resort’s beachfront setting as a backdrop for the networking that happens between sessions as much as during them.
Details on the full session lineup, sponsorship opportunities, and hotel booking will follow as registration opens. See what’s planned so far — including this year’s theme, “One Channel. Every Voice.” — on the Annual Meeting page. In the meantime, this is also where OPEESA’s Emerging Leaders program officially launches — following up on the October 20 preview reception in Louisville — so member companies with a rising leader to bring should plan on it.
Registration is open to OPEESA member companies; details on registering will be shared through the member channel as the date approaches. Member Login access is required to register once registration opens.
