b'WASHINGTON D.C.User Meeting Review20 - 22 March 2025A short review of the 22nd BearingNet User Meeting in the US capital city, Washington D.C.Celebrating a record for US events as they continue to grow each year.Our US events continue to grow in popularity each year, and March 2025 marked a record for us, with 171 attendees making it our largest meeting in America to date. This was the seventh time the BearingNet team travelled overseas for a User Meeting in the United States of America, and what a lovely host city Washington D.C. proved to be! Compared with our European User Meetings, which now attract over 500 attendees, the US events are significantly smaller. However, as one attendee put it, The US events are finally reaching adulthood! We agreeand we are aiming to make the next one in 2027 even bigger.The Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel, on the outskirts of Washington D.C., welcomed 92 companies for three valuable days of networking, with 15 of those companies attending a User Meeting for the very first time. Over 900 meetings were booked using our online meeting plannerfantastic to see! Introduced only a few years ago, the planner enables attendees to easily keep track of who theyve met and what was discussed, as well as helping themorganise their days efficiently.
