New location announced for 2013 All American Fastener Show
The 2013 All American Fastener Show will be held at the InterContinental Hotel at the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri, on 8th
- 9th T May 2013.
he All American Fastener Show provides an opportunity for industry professionals from around the world to network with United States fastener manufacturers and to learn more about new products and technology
available from the American market. In previous years, the show was held in Branson, Missouri. The 2012 All American Fastener Show was cancelled due to a devastating tornado that severely damaged the host hotel and convention centre in Branson along with many other venues in the area. Show organisers were unable to reschedule the event in Branson and instead began planning for the 2013 show. In order to ensure an available venue for the 2013 All American Fastener Show, a new location was selected.
“When the opportunity was presented, we decided to move
to a larger mid-west metropolitan area, making it easier for industry professionals to attend the 2013 show,” stated the show’s organiser, Heidi Volltrauer-Skiver. The show will include the annual Fastener Bash, exhibits
from fastener professionals, a new seminar on ‘Social media and Internet marketing’, as well as a golf tournament. Registration for exhibitors and attendees is available online and exhibitors are encouraged to register before 1st
February
2013 to take advantage of a US$100 early registration booth discount. The registration deadline is 1st
April 2013.
