PTDA Canadian Conference to Bring New Focus on Trends in Canadian
Industrial Markets
Chicago, Ill.—January 9, 2009— In times of
uncertainty, you need as much information as you can get to make sure
your strategies and decisions will keep your company moving
forward. As the premier association for the power
transmission/motion control (PT/MC) industry, the Power Transmission
Distributors Association (PTDA) delivers industry-specific information
and trends focused on the Canadian markets at its annual Canadian
Conference. The 2009 PTDA Canadian Conference will be held on May
28 - 30, 2009 at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel & Conference Center in
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Devoted to Canadian industry networking and trends, the PTDA Canadian
Conference is a must-attend event for distributors and manufacturers in
the PT/MC industry. The focus at this conference is on issues
particular to the Canadian marketplace, making the information you
gather directly relevant to your business. Meet with existing
channel partners, begin conversations with potential suppliers, and
compare issues and solutions with non-competing distributors—all
in one convenient and accessible location over just two days.
Managers and sales staff at both distributors and manufacturers have
a significant impact on their company’s profitability.
Recognizing that individuals in these roles also benefit from the
industry knowledge and networking available at the PTDA Canadian
Conference, PTDA will be sponsoring a special session for this targeted
audience at the 2009 Conference. This two-hour program, to be held
during the afternoon on May 29th, will be conducted by sales guru Joe
Ellers and will spotlight tactics for selling on value to improve
profitability. Mike Edwards of Design Product News will give
program participants insights into how technology trends are affecting
the PT/MC industry. This special program will be available to
Canadian Conference participants as well as by separate
registration.
In addition to the Friday afternoon programming, this year’s
Canadian Conference will offer attendees sessions covering:
- An economic update tailored to the Canadian industrial sector
presented by Jayson Myers, president of Canadian Manufacturers &
Exporters, Canada’s largest industry and trade association.
- Build a team and your business by successfully selling change, a
vision and your mission. Larry Smith, president and CEO of the
Montreal Alouettes Football Club, will show you how mastering these
important elements can make a true difference to your organization and
help you bring out the best in your people.
- Market briefings on end-user industries critical to the Canadian
marketplace.
- Formal and informal networking with key decision-makers in the
Canadian PT/MC market.
The Canadian Conference is open to all PTDA members selling product
in Canada—distributors and manufacturers—as well as
non-members who qualify for membership.
