ICBA Recap

ICBA, or the Independent College Bookstore Association, had their annual conference in Denver earlier last month, which included speakers on professional development, high-impact networking events, and programs built to create more success for independent college bookstores. DSC had a great time meeting attendees and building connections during this week.

With 18 total vendor booths, ICBA was a great opportunity to meet others in the independent store space from across North America and discuss ways to increase success financially and in store communities. DSC sent a few people to Denver to showcase products and give ICBA’s keynote speech, and representatives were able to use a private room for the DSC Tech Booth.

Similar to speed-dating, attendees visited each booth for 3-5 minute sessions and learned about each tech product group. Senior Director of Marketing & E-Commerce Angela Bluhm and Vice President of Retail Sales Lesley Dancker also gave a Vision Talk on behalf of DSC that used the three laws of attraction to bring success to your store and highlighted the many free resources DSC provides.

Use DSC as your wingman and check out our resources, including the School & Dorm Supplies Portal, the Merchandising Portal, Information Centers on various vendors and more. We hope to see you at the ICBA Conference next year!
