Portland, Maine – Bill Doherty, President of International Conference Development, LLC (ICD), said, “FirstSource is a truly an outstanding group of events that are highly-acclaimed and trusted in the industries they serve. The company has earned a reputation for successfully connecting buyers and sellers with a 100% satisfaction rating from participants to date. Our team looks forward to growing these events to the next level. I am excited about the opportunities that will result from this acquisition.”
A co-founder of FirstSource, Thomas Tomczyk, said, “ICD is an ideal fit for FirstSource given their commitment to outstanding customer service and proven ability to deliver executive-level audiences. I am confident that ICD will provide outstanding value to its customers.”
FirstSource Events announces the popular FirstSource: Retail Seafood and FirstSource: Foodservice Seafood, scheduled for June 9–11, 2015 in Coral Springs, FL. “These events have become the most trusted and exclusive Buyers Summits for identifying and sourcing new seafood products and business relationships. We decided to co-locate the first two seafood events so that we can add value by spending more on marketing, saving on resources and recruiting a higher number of prequalified seafood buyers”, says Doherty.
Gary Redner, Executive Vice President for Redner's Markets, spoke about his experience at FirstSource: Retail Seafood, "The companies that I am seeing, I am going to end up partnering with. It's nice because I'm getting almost everything accomplished in one sitting. It's a good event, and you can get a lot accomplished…. In the three days at FirstSource, you can accomplish a lot more than you would typically in a two-month span."
