On September 19, 2005, Petroleum Trends Intl. (publishers of Jobbers World) and the POC have teamed up to present one of the most important lubricant sessions of the year. It's a must -attend event for all lubricant marketers in North America.

The conference objective is to provide lubricant marketers with an independent analysis of the lubricant market dynamics and insights and information on how to improve your business sales and profitability. And unlike the marketer meetings of the majors which are often pep rallies to help you sell more of their brand; this meeting is about rallying long-lasting results to help you sell more of any brand (including private label lubricants).

Take one look at the list of speakers and topics and see what we mean. These speakers are well known to many of the leading lubricant marketers and represent some of the most significant independent thought leaders currently working with lubricant marketers to help them grow their business. Of particular interest, take a look at the all-star panel of speakers from North American Lubricants, Pinnacle, and Ultrachem that will be speaking on private label lubricants. Take a look at the topics that will be tackled by big names in the industry like Francis Bologna, Maura Schreier-Fleming, Kevin Fiala, Scott McLoughlin, Ed Runner, Ken Gunn, Tom Mangano, and Tom Glenn.

And when at the Tradeshow, take the time to visit the suppliers with booths in the Lubricant Section on the Tradeshow floor. They are there becuase they want to do business with you, the lubricant distributors.
