The 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 we do at the MAY EVENT. We “NETWORK” together. There are Speakers, Workshops, Round Tables and Panels involving Retailers, Sales Reps and Vendor Executives. The USRA May Event offers many different ways to share and disseminate information.

This is all done in a beautiful resort setting. Our annual Golf Tournament, Tennis Matches and Tours take place on Sunday morning. The seminar portion begins on Sunday afternoon with a distinguished Retail / Vendor Panel where attendees hear from our industry’s strongest and most knowledgeable discussing topics pertinent to the industry today.  The seminar ends with Networking and Orders followed by our Cocktail Party, Banquet Dinner and Golf Awards.

Monday is our day for interaction beginning with an amazing Keynote Speaker and Workshops where attendees brainstorm together on issues facing the industry today.   Another Cocktail Party, Banquet Dinner and more networking. Tuesday finishes off this amazing event with an interactive trivia game and a dynamic keynote speaker.

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 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!!
