Welcome!
PTDA Canadian
Conference to bring new focus on trends in Canadian
industrial markets
 In
times of uncertainty, you need as much information as you
can 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 Centre in
Niagara Falls, ON.
Devoted to Canadian industry
networking and trends, the PTDA Canadian Conference is an important 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. As the representative for Design Product News, I will
provide program participants some 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.
