Furniture First Symposium provides networking and peer-to-peer sharing that benefit our members and vendors substantially. We maximize these activities formally with retailer round table networking and best idea sessions, and informally with plenty of time for socializing. Members ask one another which programs are working and what merchandise is selling. They seek their peers' advice and guidance in solving common business challenges. Market is hectic and it’s easy for retailers to miss opportunities. Symposium allows us to shine a spotlight on our partners' products and services that may have been overlooked or squeezed out by a busy schedule.
