“We were thrilled to participate in the 2024 Brand Battle! The event provided us with fantastic exposure to new distributors and the opportunity to connect with other competitors and learn their brand stories. In the months following we have been able to expand our distribution footprint with wonderful partners. Brand Battle was a significant milestone in the NightOwl journey.”

“I really love the new changes to Access LIVE! Getting time with wholesalers on the expo floor has always been a challenge. However, with the way they have combined the expo halls into one large space and centralized supplier suites, I feel exhibitors like us will see a huge difference in traffic flow to the expo hall.”

Corrie Olsen, CEO, Infuzion Solutions
