In the picturesque city of Asheville, nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Business Technology Association (BTA) once again held its annual Fall Colors Retreat. As one of the preeminent events in the office equipment reselling industry, the retreat brought together a diverse range of industry professionals and exhibitors. Among those exhibitors was Konica Minolta, showcasing their IT Services—a tradition that they have upheld for many years.
For nearly a century, BTA has stood as a beacon for independent office equipment resellers, guiding them even before the inception of copiers. Their commitment to fostering growth and innovation within the industry is evident in events such as the Fall Colors Retreat, which was hosted this year by BTA Southeast.
The two-day event kicked off on October 12th at the Omni Grove Park Inn’s Seely Pavilion. Attendees were treated to a day filled with insightful opening remarks, a keynote address, opportunities to interact with various exhibitors, and a dealer panel that delved deep into industry trends and challenges. The day culminated with cocktails and a sunset dinner, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Konica Minolta, known for its leadership in tech solutions, took the opportunity to spotlight its IT Services. The company’s commitment to providing cutting-edge IT solutions tailored for businesses of all sizes was evident in their exhibit. Attendees had the chance to witness firsthand the latest advancements and solutions that Konica Minolta has been pioneering.
On October 13th, the retreat continued with breakfast, followed by more exhibit time and exhibitor round-table discussions. The event wrapped up with a final educational session by me, Andy Slawetsky, closing remarks, and the eagerly anticipated exhibitor prize drawings.
The Fall Colors Retreat offers more than just a chance for industry professionals to come together; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of innovation and collaboration within the reselling industry. Konica Minolta’s continued presence and contributions to this event underscore their dedication to driving the industry forward.
