THE 47th ERA CONFERENCE

February 28th – March 1st
AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center
Austin, TX

There’s no denying it! You live in a connected world, and the burgeoning Internet of Things promises even greater connectivity that can barely be imagined today. Electronics industry reps, manufacturers and distributors need SMART SOLUTIONS to better manage their connectivity with each other and with customers. So now’s the time to boost your skills in NAVIGATING THE CONNECTED WORLD at the ERA Conference, the only educational event in the electronics industry focused exclusively on the outsourced field sales function.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The conference opens Sunday with a Welcome Reception, followed by two full days of programming on Monday and Tuesday (with breakfast and lunch included both days).
  • The customized keynote program by Scott Klososky is longer than usual because it will be both an informational and teaching session. You can’t afford to miss this!
  • Many other NEW speakers are being booked to bring you a dynamic array of expertise and experience.
  • All breakouts will be scheduled twice to allow you maximum flexibility in customizing your own schedule.
  • Once again, all registration is being conveniently handled online.
  • All conference materials and information will be provided via Crowd Compass, so there will be no more binders!

Please read about the conference details, and visit era.org regularly for program updates. Most importantly, remember that the 2016 ERA Conference is the ONLY opportunity for electronics industry reps, manufacturers and distributors to learn SMART SOLUTIONS in an environment dedicated to sharing best practices in NAVIGATING THE CONNECTED WORLD.

We look forward to seeing you in Austin!

News from FJM

FJM continues to grow thanks to the support of great people like you. In an effort to better serve you and all of the clients we work with, we are starting a monthly newsletter. We look forward to bringing you up-to-date, industry-relevant information including new products coming to market, client success stories and links to articles with news you can use to stay competitive in your industry.

This month, we shine the spotlight on the new owner of FJM, Jim Gleason.

Jim GleasonAs an entrepreneur, I am always looking for new opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. In September 2014, I became Owner and Managing Partner of Frank J. Muto Company, known as FJM.

Over the past four years, I’ve had the good fortune of building strong working relationships within the industry I serve. My past experience in Organizational Development and small business gives me a unique perspective and direction as a manufacturer’s representative.  As FJM grows, our team grows…all in an effort to bring more value to our clients.

A lifelong NY state resident, I grew up in the Binghamton area and now live with my wife, Katie, and 3 children in the beautiful Finger Lakes region. I enjoy spending time with the family outdoors and being active in my kid’s activities.  I’m also a big sports fan, rooting for the Mets, Sabres, Bills, and Syracuse Orange.

I am passionate about connecting with new people and ideas and am active in several professional organizations and networking groups. I am a founding member and past President of Toastmasters Peer 2 Peer club in Rochester, NY and was recently elected to serve as President of Empire State Chapter of the Electronics Representatives Association (ERA)

I look forward to providing more value to you in the future. Thanks for your support.
