Glen Ellyn, IL—At its 2009 Annual Convention May 2-5 at the Hyatt Grand Cypress Hotel, Orlando, Florida, the Bearing Specialists Association (BSA) will implement an interactive, rapid-response electronic system to facilitate a survey that will instantly reveal onscreen distributor and manufacturer responses to a number of multiple choice questions. The survey, “Are Manufacturers from Mars and Distributors from Venus,” is expected to demonstrate how differently distributors and manufacturers think. BSA believes that when you learn what your industry peers are thinking, you will be ready to meet their needs as well as yours and those of the end-user.
Part 2 of this program will feature a panel of industry leaders analyzing the results of the survey. Distributor panelists William J. Stevens, President and CEO, Motion Industries, Inc.; Gordon Duncan, President, Kinecor LP; and James Fitzpatrick, President, Bearings Specialty Company; and manufacturer panelists Tony Martell, Vice President/General Manager, Aftermarket Business, NSK Corporation; William A. Childers, President, North American Sales, Rexnord Industries, LLC; Dr. Michael Hartnett, President and CEO, RBC Bearings; will be analyzing the results of BSA’s interactive, rapid response survey, “Are Manufacturers from Mars and Distributors from Venus” Peter Negri, President, Jamaica Bearings, will serve as the moderator for the panel.
The survey and subsequent analysis is a perfect fit for the BSA Annual Convention, where programming is closely tied to the association’s Strategic Plan which identifies BSA as “the forum to enhance networking, knowledge sharing, and to promote the sale of bearings through authorized distributors.” For additional BSA convention information, please go to www.bsaconventions.org
