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.

What to wear
Men – you can’t put on any old rags. Emulate the style of Al Capone – think pin-striped suits with fedora hats. Black or white ties on a black shirt, spats (white canvas or vinyl shoe covers). If you want to do something a little different, wear a Henley shirt with long baggy trousers and braces. Top it off with a hat and you will have a genuine twenties look.
Ladies
The typical flapper look comprised a short, finger-waved bob with a feathered headband, a drop-waist, fringed or heavily beaded cocktail dress, over-the-knee stockings and a sexy pair of round-toed heels. Accessorize this look with a long cigarette holder, a long string of pearls, and a feather boa. Flappers often finished the ensemble with a felt, bell-shaped hat called a cloche.
