water notes chairman’s commentary
Filled With Opportunities
By Stewart E. Allen, IBWA Chairman THIS YEAR, IBWA’S CONVENTION AND TRADE SHOW IS
again partnering with the American Beverage Association’s conference, InterBev 2010, to present the beverage industry’s premier beverage event in Orlando, Florida, from September 20-24, 2010. The convention’s theme—Filled With Opportunities—is particularly fitting considering our industry climate of late. Like other U.S. businesses, bottled water companies have had to make small adjustments to the way they operate due to recent economic and consumer pressures. When making such modifications, successful businesspeople look for opportunities. Sounds simple. But, as we all know too well, opportunities cannot be planned or predicted. Believe it or not, opportunities actually present themselves more often than you might realize. In a lot of cases, however, people either do not recognize an event as an opportunity or they see the opportunity but are not in a position to act. Failure to act on opportunities is one of the biggest mistakes a businessperson can make. And while you can’t plan an opportunity, you can prepare in advance so that when an opportunity does come around, you are in a position to act on it. The question is, How do you plan for an opportunity? For starters, you can attend InterBev 2010. During our convention, you’ll have the opportunity to network with your business peers and learn from a multitude of industry experts who are speaking at one or more of our 30-plus education sessions or exhibiting on our trade show floor, which boasts 300-plus exhibitors. InterBev 2010—Filled With Opportunities—is an ideal platform for broadlevel opportunity preparation as you expose yourself to new innovations, ways of thinking, and people. IBWA’s education sessions encompass our industry’s key issues, addressing current trends, operations and management issues, sustainability concerns, and technical/regulatory challenges. On the trade show floor, leading experts and bottled water professionals will provide attendees with the latest information on a variety of topics relative to today’s marketplace. By heightening your awareness of business and industry issues, you will be more apt to tune in to the possibilities that present themselves—and be in a better position to handle those opportunities. Information exchange is a vital component of preparing for opportunities, so we hope to see you in Orlando attending InterBev 2010. It’s Filled With Opportunities.
