The entire event was world-class. The attention to detail, schedule and programming were well worth the time and financial investment. The location worked well.

I thought assigned seating for Sunday evening was a great idea. The "team" event made it an even better experience!
Jeff Williams, General Bearing Corporation -
Great convention. Liked the change in the business program. Speakers were relevant to our industry. Social events were fun.
Jim Fitzpatrick, Bearing Speciality Company -
The business program was probably the best I have seen BSA execute. Great job. Looking forward to getting back to the east coast.
Randy Breaux, Motion Industries, Inc. -
This was the best convention I've attended because of the meeting structure, content, activities and venue.
David Zoesch, Schaeffler Group -
I very much liked the assigned seating, and felt that pushed people to meet each other - as a first time attendee, I liked it very much.
Charles Estermann, Weimer Bearing &Transmission, Inc.

About The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island from the hotel website:
A barrier island that provided a safe anchor for seafaring souls, Amelia Island has been discovered and rediscovered many times over – by pirates and colonists and those who love how the sea can touch their soul. The island reveals many treasures, including The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, a sanctuary among luxury beach hotels in Amelia Island that provides a welcome barrier between you and the world beyond. We honor our cherished heritage with a weekly Pirate Toast. A treasure hunt for our younger guests. Culinary explorations that stay true to our coastal Florida roots. Spa treatments that soothe from a slow, Southern pace. And a golf course that naturally blends into ancient terrain. With miles of pristine beaches to explore, you’ll find yourself basking in the glow of the sun as you swim, relax or walk along the sandy shore.
