Commonsku, the Toronto-based promotional products business and sales software company, held its annual skucamp from Sept. 15 through 17 in Nashville, TN. The event, billed as a “business boot camp” for executives at suppliers and distributors, included sessions on building and leading teams, expert insights into areas such as sustainability and supply chain, and networking opportunities.

Executives from suppliers and distributors attended the three-day event in Music City.

Speakers included those from both outside promo, like Stephen Shedletzky, author of Speak-Up Culture, as well as inside the industry, such as Benji Bearman, co-founder of Liquid Screen Design (asi/254663), and Dominique Volker, vice president of sales at Whitestone Branding (asi/359741) and an ASI Media Distributor Salesperson of the Year Finalist in 2023.

“We were thrilled that nearly half the attendees this year were brand new to skucamp,” said Mark Graham, president and chief brand officer at commonsku and a member of the Counselor Power 50 list. “It’s always an honor to facilitate an experience that inspires both the experienced pro and the starting professional to reach further and aim higher.”
