A&B Business Solutions was proud to host the Business Products Council Association (BPCA) 2026 Spring Meeting in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, welcoming a record number of attendees for the three‑day event. Office equipment dealers and industry partners from across the country gathered for an engaging, collaborative experience focused on leadership, innovation, and industry growth.
Approximately 25 technology industry dealers and manufacturer partners, marking the largest attendance for a BPCA spring meeting to date. The event provided a valuable forum for sharing ideas, exchanging best practices, and strengthening relationships across the business products and technology industry.
Focused on Intelligence and Leadership for Growth
The theme of this year’s meeting—Intelligence & Leadership for Growth—set the tone for thoughtful discussion and forward‑looking strategy throughout the event. Attendees explored how strong leadership, informed decision‑making, and team development are critical drivers of sustainable success in a changing industry.
The meeting featured two impactful keynote presentations:
- Dr. Nathan Unruh, who presented Unlocking Leadership for Growth, sharing insights on leadership development, mindset, and empowering teams to drive results.
- Joe Goodreau, who spoke on Building High‑Performance Teams, offering practical strategies for creating strong, aligned teams that consistently deliver value to customers.
Both keynotes sparked meaningful conversation and provided attendees with actionable takeaways they could immediately apply within their organizations.
Breakout Sessions by Department
Following the keynote presentations, attendees participated in targeted breakout sessions designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities within each functional area. Sessions were tailored for:
- Owners and Executives
- Sales Teams
- Service Departments
- Marketing Teams
- Finance Leaders
Each breakout focused on topics directly related to the responsibilities of that department, encouraging peer‑to‑peer discussion, shared learning, and real‑world problem solving. These sessions allowed participants to dive deeper into relevant issues while learning from others facing similar challenges.
