WAUKESHA, WI — November 22, 2011 – Hamacher Resource Group, Inc. (HRG), the retail consumer healthcare industry’s premier marketing and research firm, will be participating in Drug Store News’ Diabetes Leadership Forum, part of their Industry Issues Summit, to be held November 29, 2011 at the New York Athletic Club, New York, New York. HRG’s vice president, Dave Wendland, will moderate the discussion for the eighth year in a row. The panel will include six of the leading health and beauty retailers in the country.

The Forum is billed as a must-attend event for manufacturers of diabetic products wanting to expand their presence in this category and gain insights about their customers. With a cross-section of participants representing leading retailers, distributors, and manufacturers in the health, beauty, and wellness industry, this annual event is an important opportunity for executives from each segment in the supply chain that want to better serve their diabetes customers and prepare for the anticipated growth in the number of patients. Wendland said, “As diabetes continues to dominate the national health care landscape, consumers will be relying on retailers for treatment supplies and medications as well as counsel. It’s important to continually innovate and be prepared for the patients’ needs and volume of demand.”

Wendland, a thought leader and nearly 20-year veteran in the health, beauty, and wellness industry, is also a regular contributor to HealthCare Distributor, writes for RetailWire’s BrainTrust Blog, and has spoken at events including the Healthcare Distribution Management Association’s (HDMA) 2011 Business & Leadership Conference, Cardinal Health’s 2011 Retail Business Conference (RBC),  OTC Perspectives’ 2011 OTC National Conference,  AmerisourceBergen’s 2011 National Healthcare Conference & Exposition (NHCE), moderated several panels and hosted multiple industry webinars.
