b'A message from Nicola Washington Monument, USAThis will be our first time hosting an official User Meeting in Austria (back in 1999 our founder John Bass arranged one of the very first meetings in Vienna, Im sure a few of you have very fond memories of these meetings). This is also the first time we have held a meeting with just a 12-month gap since the previous meeting, and we expected it to be a smaller as a result of this, which is why we chose a smaller venue. but we were wrong! We had to close the booking system six months before the meeting as we reached our limit of 480 exhibitors and already have a waiting list (dont worry we have already found our venue for the next European meeting and it will fit550+ exhibitors).This will be the first time we have invited FluidPowerNet members to our meeting. There is a nice cross over between power transmission and fluid power so a good group of distributors to meet and talk to about both product types. If you are attending, come over and say hello to our team. We will be there to welcome everyone at registration, socialising with the exhibitors at the Welcome Reception, as well as being on stand-by at all times during the networking days. The team will also be around to say goodbye and receive any feedback you may have at the Farewell Dinner on the final evening.See you in Vienna! Nicola BeerWhat to expect in ViennaAs ever, the event will kick off with the popular Welcome Reception. This is the first stop for many exhibitors to catch up with familiar faces or meet the newest members to attend one of our User Meetings. To make it a little less daunting for the newbies, the first 30 minutes is exclusively for first timers, allowing them to settle in, meet fellow first time exhibitors, and ask any questions they may have.The next two days will be where the main action takes place, full days of networking and meetings with fellow industry professionals, alongside lunch, refreshments, and time to explore the city in the evenings.We then bring everyone together for the Farewell Dinner, reflecting on three action-packed and eventful days. This willBook hereinclude dinner, drinks, games, and many chances to build andComing soon.strengthen those valuable business connections.20 - 22 March 2025WASHINGTON D.C.23'
