The Association for High Technology Distribution is all about building member and industry success.

Founded in 1985, AHTD provides resources, education, and unparalleled networking opportunities that help members in the high-technology distribution industry innovate, collaborate, and achieve their business goals faster.

We recognize the power of connection, and at AHTD we provide you with a multitude of opportunities to connect with potential partners, as well as peers and industry. Our semi-annual conferences are viewed as "can’t miss” events by our members, offering:

  • An Industry Showcase - Connect with leading automation manufacturers. Explore new opportunities. Discuss issues with executives from your current manufacturer partners.
  • Visionary Presentations - Learn about emerging trends and technologies from some of our country's leading experts.
  • Business-Critical Information - Attend programs and workshops that address everything from effective sales management to retaining high performing employees, and from managing a product portfolio amid rapidly evolving technology to evaluating your customers’ true profitability.
  • Unparalleled Networking - There is nothing like the power of face-to-face interaction for exchanging ideas and seeing what you haven’t seen before. Our meetings create opportunities for you to network with your peers, industry thought leaders, and many of North America’s leading automation distributor principals.

The benefits of AHTD membership extend far beyond the conferences. As an AHTD member, you can access:

  • A private database of information on potential distributors
  • Ongoing training in areas such as sales, management, and technology
  • Personal development through involvement in the committees that map out the direction of the association

It’s no wonder that members often refer to AHTD as their primary industry resource for increasing efficiency and opportunity. To join this elite group of distributors and manufacturers focused on growth, complete our application and submit to AHTD@ahtd.org.
