9. Perspective: Making time to step away from the daily grind isn’t easy—but it pays off. Ben Hellbusch, former FEMA President from Duo Lift Manufacturing, has seen the impact firsthand: “It’s tough to pull away, but the moment you get to a meeting, you realize how valuable it is. You hear what others in the industry are doing, pick up fresh ideas, and see the bigger picture.”

8. Fun: Whether you want to check out the River Walk, see The Alamo, or grab a great meal with industry friends, San Antonio has plenty to do. Between the Pearl District, museums, live music, and solid Tex-Mex and BBQ, it’s easy to make the most of your time outside the conference. Work hard, connect—but leave a little time to have fun while you’re here.

7. Solutions: Every year, we hear stories of manufacturers finding exactly what they need—sometimes by chance—at the Product Showcase. Former FEMA President John Tye, with Lubbock Fastener Supply, describes it like this: “You walk by a table and look at something, and you say, ‘That’s the sort of thing we are looking for, but it needs to be like this. Can you make it like this?’ The answer is yes, ‘If you want to buy it, we can make it.’”

6. Tech, Tunes, Tours: FEMA is making the Supply Summit & Showcase in San Antonio one you won’t want to miss. We’re featuring exciting activities including a Technology Track, a Topgolf Tournament, a musical farewell party with dueling pianos, and tours of Alamo Group and the Toyota facility. Get ready to learn, play, and sing along as we celebrate industry connections.

5. Networking: Building strong relationships is crucial to success, and this meeting is all about doing just that. “Networking is key, and I’ve built lasting relationships at the Summit over the years,” says Marc Ivey, FEMA Board President. “At every Summit, I catch up with familiar faces and meet some new folks, too. I always come away with fresh ideas and a few new ways to tackle the challenges we’re dealing with.”

4. Value: The Summit provides unmatched value. Tim Burenga of Worksaver and former FEMA President, said that attending gives you a leg up on your competition. “We always learn something new about distribution law at these meetings, which in the long run, has more than paid for the price of the meeting and membership fees.”

3. Productivity: There’s no better place to maximize your time than the Summit. This is your chance to meet with supplier companies representing parts, materials, and service providers from around the world—all in one place. Over four days, you can engage with suppliers, gain insights from industry experts, and exchange ideas with fellow colleagues.

2. Growth: The Summit can drive growth said John Brown from Myers Spring, Former Chairman, Supplier Section Board of Governors. “We’ve met a lot of decision makers here. Myers Spring is a larger part of the ag market because of the Association.”

1. Innovation: If you want a clear view of what’s coming next—and what to do about it—this is where you’ll find it. The Supply Summit delivers forward-thinking ideas paired with practical takeaways, covering everything from ag technology and AI to risk management, right-to-repair, employment law, tariffs, and sales strategy. Add the Supplier Showcase, valuable supplier connections, networking opportunities and dedicated time with peers, and you’ll leave with new relationships, sharper direction, and ideas you can put to work right away.
