FWD EVENTS

The Federation hold four major events each year, designed to maintain the highest profile for wholesalers. The annual conference is preceded by the Federation Golf day, which is always played on courses of international renown. The Federation invented the "summit" title for its specific category conferences - Drinksummit and Catersummit - which were launched in 1989 - to focus on the contribution made by wholesalers to these sectors. The annual dinner and Gold Medal Awards were also launched in 1989 to recognise the importance of the wholesale trade.
