USRA MAY EVENT 2020
The MAY EVENT
Uniting the Shoe Industry
The USRA May Event is a unique opportunity to utilize the resources of the Shoe Industry’s
strongest Independent Retailers & Vendors.
The MAY EVENT creates and strengthens Partnerships:
Whether it is Retail/Retail, Retail/Vendor or Vendor/Vendor….
We can all learn something from each other.
That is what is done at the MAY EVENT; “NETWORKING” together.
There are Speakers, Workshops, Round Tables and Panels involving Retailers,
Sales Reps and Vendor Executives. The May Event offers many different ways
to share and disseminate information.
This is all done in a beautiful resort setting. The annual Golf Tournament takes place on the first morning.
The seminar portion begins that afternoon with an amazing Keynote Speaker followed by Networking and
Orders. The evening starts with a Cocktail Party, Banquet Dinner and Golf Awards.
The following day is for interaction through Panels where attendees hear from our industry’s strongest and
most knowledgeable and Workshops where attendees brainstorm together on issues facing the industry
today, another Cocktail Party, Banquet Dinner and more networking.
The last day finishes off this amazing event with more Dynamic Speakers.
Vendors have the opportunity to display their shoes throughout the entire three days, giving Retailers a chance
to look at the lines in a very relaxed atmosphere. Not only can they look at the shoes, but also many
Vendors offer a minimum 5% discount on any orders left during this three day event.
So whether you are in Retail or in Wholesale, a Sales Rep or an Executive….
The May Event has something for you!!
One Industry…One Goal…One Place.

Event, attendees find themselves doing business without even realizing it.
•Instead of just attending a Business Meeting, the May Event has become a group of friends getting together to discuss
business: Selling shoes is not the focus of the Event, it is a bonus!
If you’ve never personally attended this Event, you MUST attend this year. The May Event is a very unique and beneficial
Event. It is the only one like it within the shoe industry. Until you have actually attended this amazing Event,
you cannot understand the incredible benefits it has to offer.
The networking and connections made there cannot be compared -- It is an Event not to be missed!!
