And that’s a wrap! Managing Director of BearingNet reflects on the success of the 20th User Meeting

Berlin, Germany – What a blast! BearingNet is thrilled with the success of this event. After the longest awaited User Meeting in all history, it is finally over, and what a great meeting it was!

Event Highlights:
525 Delegates
225 Companies
150+ First time delegates
38 Nations
5,000+ Meetings

The User Meetings are much more than just a networking event; they are an event filled with serious business talks, lots of laughter, good fun, not enough sleep and face-to-face business connections which will last far longer than any email you can send.

We also received some very nice feedback!

“The meeting was a total success for us, we had 100+ live sales accounts in attendance under one roof in the Conference Hall. To travel to visit these customers would take months and obviously the cost would be un-thinkable!”

“I wanted to express our gratitude to you and your entire team for organising such a fantastic networking event within our industry. It was a truly remarkable experience, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! The event’s success can be measured by the high-quality connections we were able to establish with companies from all around the world.”

And we even got feedback from a delegate that was unfortunately unable to attend!

“It was such a shame I couldn’t make it. The feedback from others was pretty awesome, you did a very good job, congrats to you and the team!”

We also had one person for who this wasn’t just their first User Meeting but the first time ever leaving their country! That’s what the User Meeting can do to people!

If you missed out, don’t fret! You can take a look at the official event video and hundreds of photos of the 3 days.

Plus, the booking system for our next meeting in Vienna will be opening in less than a months’ time! With Vienna being a smaller hotel than the one in Berlin, booking early is highly recommended, we can only fit so many tables in the room and once they are gone it will be standing room only.

And finally a special thanks goes to….

My fabulous team for being kind, friendly and accommodating to all of our customers.

To all the delegates that joined us from near and far. We appreciate the time and effort you all put in to getting to the event, being away from the office and your families to take part, plus the hours of talking you all do!

To our Premium Sponsors, you all add a little extra sparkle to the event. We love to see your stands and how they are evolving year on year.

To the manufacturers that join us for the meeting. It is a great addition to our meeting, to be able to add a group of manufacturers who are actively looking to enhance the distributors business.

Everyone who took part in the BearingNet quiz (it’s just a bit of fun but some people take it very seriously!!), well done to the winners Albeco, we hope you enjoyed your cocktails!

And to Baltic Bearing Supply Germany, for supporting a very worthy cause, Childrens Hospiz Sternenbrücke. Baltic Bearing Germany raised €25,000 and BearingNet topped it up to total €30,000. The raffle was a lovely addition to the Farewell Dinner and 5 of our lucky delegates won an Apple IPad Pro!

Can’t wait to see you all in Vienna, 3-5 October 2024.
