2022 BWI EXPO Welcome
Welcome to BWI’s 2022 EXPO
at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, TX — September 12-14
While driving last week, the John Denver song, “Back Home Again,” came on and the chorus line of “Hey, it’s good to be back home again” reminded me of how good it is to be back in full swing with BWI’s annual EXPO with the opportunity to see old friends and make new friends again. “I said, hey, it’s good to be back at EXPO among friends again.”
BWI’s team has worked hard to ensure this year’s EXPO is the best! We have expanded our super savings opportunities like Hot Buys, Bulk Buys, Pallet Alley, and cash back with BWI’s Bonus Bucks! I will guarantee that BWI’s EXPO offers the greatest savings opportunities for all market segments we service. Please visit bwiexpo.com for additional information.
As a business entrepreneur, the return on investment of your time away from your business and family is the primary justification for attending our EXPO in Fort Worth. In addition to the financial benefit and pre-buys, even more value is the opportunity to visit with colleagues to exchange ideas, make new connections, and glean new ideas.
As the old saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” so having the products on display from our manufacturers is a great way to see and learn about new products and how they can make or save you money. In today’s rapidly changing, highly competitive business environment, seeing and learning about new products and sharing ideas is challenging to put a tangible value on. Still, the best ideas are often garnered at industry events like BWI’s EXPO.
In addition to the financial value and educational opportunities offered at BWI’s EXPO, Fort Worth is a great place to vacation. I think it is well worth the time to take an extra day to experience the events, sites, and attractions Fort Worth has to offer. A few things to do in Fort Worth are:
Explore the authentic Western Heritage in the Stockyards National Historic District. View more than 7,000 animals at the nationally top-ranked Fort Worth Zoo. Experience life in the fast lane at Texas Motor Speedway. See priceless masterpieces in the world-renowned cultural district.

In closing, a big THANK YOU to all BWI’s vendor partners who work so hard and give their time to make this industry event possible.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Fort Worth!
