North American custom electronics distributor AVAD LLC will kick off its Vend-O-Palooza tour on January 26 at the AVAD branch in Irvine, CA, followed by stops at Scottsdale, AZ, on February 22 and San Jose, CA, on March 13.
 
Now in its third year, Vend-O-Palooza is a one-day "trade show" offering local dealers and integrators an exclusive opportunity to meet directly and interact with some of the industry's leading manufacturers and service providers. Attendees to Vend-O-Palooza have the opportunity to demo the latest products, participate in prize giveaways and raffles, and purchase products at special pricing. Throughout the event, AVAD also conducts special training session and workshops designed to help attendees manage and grow their businesses.

"Vend-O-Palooza has quickly grown into an event that AVAD dealers and vendors look forward to," said Jim Annes, vice president and general manager of AVAD. "The event is truly a win-win situation for everyone in attendance. AVAD dealers have the unique opportunity to speak face-to-face with manufacturers in a forum that allows them to ask questions and provide feedback on the products they use. AVAD vendors also use Vend-O-Palooza as an opportunity to learn more about the unique needs of the dealer which helps them make the products and services they provide even better."
