Details of FCB2B Annual Meeting Announced

Dalton, GA, July 17, 2017-The World Floor Covering Association has announced formal plans for the FCB2B Annual Meeting, to be held August 15 to 17 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida.

The event will coincide with the CFI Convention and other industry events.

According to Phil Zolan, Executive Director, fcB2B, “This year’s conference will include an unveiling and implemention of an all new set of floor covering B2B standards.” Zolan said the new and improved standards address a laundry list of issues and “pain points” that exist with the current standards. “In many cases, outdated business-to-business transaction systems have been hindering trading partners across industries that have adopted more advanced B2B platforms,” Zolan explained. “The new standards will move our whole industry from one based on 1997 technology to current 2017 standards that are now fully compatible with standards used in all major industries around the world.”

In addition to the new standards, the meeting will include presentations on industry metrics, updates on the new web services being developed and implemented by Association members, and discussions on advancing the adoption of B2B by manufacturers, distributors and retailers.

Members and non-members are welcome to attend the meeting. To register or for more information please visit: www.fcB2B.org.
