Facilisgroup, a promotional products industry software provider and partnering community, recently wrapped its annual Facilisgroup Summit, held this year in July in New Orleans, LA.

Approximately 500 distributor partners, preferred suppliers and team members gathered at the annual event for education sessions, software demonstrations and product displays.

“The theme of this year’s Summit was ‘Everything in Sync,’ and it truly was,” said Chris Lee, president of Facilisgroup and a member of Counselor’s Power 50 list of the most influential people in promo. “Our unique offering brings together the very best in industry technology, experience and community spirit. New Orleans delivered as a location and our partners and suppliers brought the magic.”

A marching band performance kicked off Facilisgroup’s annual Summit in New Orleans.

ASI President and CEO Tim Andrews gave a keynote presentation on the trajectory of the industry headed into the rest of 2025 and beyond. Other education opportunities included a conversation between Lee and Frank Myers, CEO of S&S Activewear (asi/84358), covering leadership and the company’s acquisition of alphabroder; “Sized Solutions” sessions focused on collaboration between peers in similarly sized businesses; and a supplier showcase for preferred partners to show off creative displays.

And, amidst Big Easy fun at Mardi Gras World, the Summit also gave back – Facilisgroup assembled 100 care packages for Dress for Success New Orleans, which helps provide professional attire and support while empowering women to achieve economic independence.

“The conversations, the energy and the insights were outstanding,” said John Bottone, VP of sales and marketing at Knock-Out Specialties (asi/244185). “It’s more than a conference; it’s a reset button for how I approach my business.”

Facilisgroup is headquartered in St. Louis, MO, and has a Canadian location in Ottawa.
