The Gates’ Distribution Advisory Council, a.k.a ‘the DAC’, has for many years been an important forum for communication and interaction with you, our valued customer.

The format has evolved over the past years, and now it is the right time to take our collaboration to new heights. It is our firm conviction that people do business with people, and to achieve great results together, meeting in person is a key factor that will enable us to find new ways to grow. This is why the theme for our upcoming DAC will be “Growing Through Partnership”.

We’ll meet in Malaga/Marbella in March 2026. We have a lot of news and people to introduce to you, and of course, there will be ample opportunities for talks and creative discussions in smaller and larger settings. Our workshops this time will be more directly aligned with our business strategy and overall targets, and perhaps a bit less time will be spent on more tactical, day-to-day issues. Not because they are unimportant, but to really create a space for growing our business and profitability together.

We are excited to meet you in March.
