United Stationers and Lagasse Announce Landmark Event
First-of-its-kind Meeting Will Bring Together Broadest Cross-section of Resellers and Suppliers
DEERFIELD, Ill. – June 16, 2014 – The B2B marketplace for business essentials has
seen category and channel lines blur dramatically over the past several years. To serve the
evolving needs of their diverse base of resellers and suppliers, United Stationers and Lagasse
will host an industry-leading event called CORE Live at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention
Center in Nashville, TN on February 16-19, 2015.
CORE (Center Of Reseller Excellence) was introduced this year as a platform that offers
ongoing opportunities for resellers to sharpen their skills, benchmark their business practices,
and access industry resources that can help them win with their customers. The CORE Live
event will be the first time that office products dealers and JanSan distributors will gather with
the broad supplier community and other industry experts in one common event.
“We are very excited to bring together United Stationers and Lagasse customers and
suppliers for this first-of-its kind event,” stated Harry Dochelli, Senior Vice President,
Independent Dealer Channel for United Stationers and Lagasse. “It is a bold undertaking, and
we will have major stakeholders and thought leaders from across our industry in Nashville.
Those that participate will leave energized and equipped to win.”
