A Strong Start in South
  America
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Making History in...
Following several suggestions, and a few convincing conversations with members at the 2024 Vienna User Meeting, the 
decision was made: BearingNet would be heading to Brazil for its very first User Meeting in South America!
Fast forward two years, and the BearingNet community has returned from a successful and exciting event at the Grand 
Hyatt Rio de Janeiro. From 30th September to 2nd October, more than 130 attendees came together to network on a 
brand-new continent for BearingNet, with companies from 29 countries represented. An impressive 545 scheduled 
meetings were booked using the new and improved online meeting planner, keeping attendees very busy throughout 
the event.
The BearingNet Events team consisted of Chris Howard, Gus Annis, Ania Walton and Henry Rodda. One of the highlights 
for the team was seeing just how many conversations and meetings were taking place across both networking days, with 
many continuing well beyond their allotted time.
The Grand Hyatt proved to be a popular venue, with excellent food throughout the event and meeting facilities that 
provided plenty of space for attendees to move freely between the main meeting room, foyer and garden terrace.
A big thank you goes to all of our Premium Exhibitors and Event Sponsors who helped make the event possible.
We look forward to catching up with everyone again in Salou, Spain, from 10th to 12th June 2027. Get your 
sunscreen ready!
