About the
Convention
There has never been a more important time for industry leaders to meet. Overall economic indicators continue to trend up. Prospects for recovery within the industry are promising. An independent study by the Freedonia Group, LLC projects ball, roller and plain bearing demand in the U.S. will expand 3.0-percent annually through 2013 to $10.6 billion. How prepared are you to leverage this growth?
Because there is nothing like shared past experience -- including the impact of a grueling recession and other economic realities -- to help us confront the next challenge, BSA’s 2010 Annual Convention has adopted the theme “A Look Back to Step Ahead” to recognize and build on BSA’s 44 years of industry leadership as it looks ahead to new opportunities and markets in the recovering economy.
Plan now to join industry leaders as they "Step Ahead" at the 2010 Annual Convention May 1-4 and take advantage of the only annual networking program attended by the highest level executives from the bearing industry.
This year's program will include:
- On Sunday morning, a panel of industry veterans will share their expertise based on past challenges and their answers to questions developed by BSA leaders. During this session the audience will be encouraged to respond to these questions via individual electronic devices which allow attendees’ anonymity. Responses will be displayed immediately. This is your chance to learn what your peers and industry leaders really think about the past, present and future of the economy and bearing industry!
- On Monday morning, a panel of current industry leaders will address the results of Sunday’s immediate audience responses. What did we learn and where do we go from here? Our Monday panel will help provide a guide to understanding how to learn from the past in order to build a better future. Join us for a very timely program shaped by the immediate responses of BSA 2010 Convention attendees!
- Annual industry update from the ABMA.
- An industry update from BSA based on member company data.
- A present industry overview reflecting on topics introduced by Sunday's past leaders panel.
- An update on Counterfeit Bearing problems based on a true story from one of our own participating manufacturers.
- Pre-schedule and plan twenty-five minute private appointments with your channel partners to address bearing industry concerns and resolve business problems.
- The Naples Grande offers an accessible location with exceptional facilities at over 25% savings.
