Glen Ellyn, IL—The Bearing Specialists Association (BSA) has announced a trio of important upcoming events beginning with the 2012 Fall Meeting in Chicago scheduled for September 24- 25 at the Hilton Suites Chicago/Magnificent Mile in Chicago, Illinois. This meeting is co-located with ABMA’s Fall Meeting. Individual event schedules have been timed to avoid overlap, but there will be a joint reception and dinner to facilitate industry networking. In addition, those industry leaders who would normally attend both events can save time and resources by traveling once.

Looking ahead, the BSA 2013 Winter Meeting is planned for January 27-29 at Loews Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia. BSA’s 2013 Annual Convention will be May 5 – 7 at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

BSA is the “must belong to organization for authorized bearing distributors.” An international service and educational organization of distributors representing a total of almost 100 companies distributing factory-warranted, anti-friction bearings and invited manufacturers of bearings and related products, the association’s mission says, “BSA is the forum to enhance networking and knowledge sharing and promote the sale of bearings through authorized distributors.” For more information on BSA contact the BSA office at (630) 858-3838; fax (630) 790-3095; email info@bsahome.org or visit the association website at www.bsahome.org. ###
