If you're responsible for your firm's purchasing or inventory department, the 2020 PEI Purchasing & Inventory Managers Conference is for you. The 2020 event is April 1-3 at the Courtyard Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk. The two-day conference offers inventory roundtables, topic-specific general sessions with Randy Disharoon and networking.
PEI members who register before Feb. 28 will save $100.
In three general sessions, distribution and leadership expert Randy Disharoon will show attendees how to “Embrace Change, “Engender Collaboration” and “Epitomize Commitment.” Disharoon’s story is as interesting as his message. At age 23, he was certified as a nuclear engineer. By age 25, he was leading Naval officer training courses. At 27, he entered the private sector — improving operations and growing sales for distributors and manufacturers in the chemical and power transmission industries.
Roundtable discussion sessions will provide attendees with targeted peer-to-peer learning opportunities. Each registrant will pick 3 of the following 6 topics:
- Freight & Shipping Management
- Inventory Management Technology
- Service Vehicle Inventory Replenishment
- Managing the Customer
- Parts Department Success
- Inventory Hidden Costs & Values

“This is my first P&I Conference and I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge in the petroleum industry. I have been told by my colleagues that this conference is a great way to gain a new perspective on purchasing and inventory management.”

“The most important reason to attend this conference is to take advantage of the industry networking that takes place. Having a forum focused on Purchasing and Inventory allows us to spend quality time and share experiences with other PEI members with similar business challenges and solutions.
Having Vendors involved in the discussions helps us to gain working knowledge of ways to strengthen the relationship between the distributor and manufacturer.”
