Every September, there’s one event that brings together the best, brightest, and most passionate people in the belting world: the NIBA Annual Convention. It’s where relationships are strengthened, new ideas spark, and the heartbeat of our industry comes alive. This year, that heartbeat is taking us to Dallas, Texas for NIBA 2025 — and you can bet the Davis Industrial team will be there, boots on the ground and ready to connect.
For us, NIBA isn’t just another date on the calendar. It’s a tradition. It’s where we’ve built friendships, shared knowledge, and celebrated what makes our industry so unique. From the Expo floor to the networking receptions, NIBA has always been the place where Davis Industrial shows up, learns, grows, and has a little fun along the way.
But this year’s convention isn’t just business as usual. 2025 marks the beginning of something truly special for Davis Industrial. Our very own President & CEO, Stephenie Davis, has been deeply involved with NIBA for years — serving on committees, lending her leadership, and helping shape the future of the belting community. And in Dallas, the gavel will officially be passed, paving the way for Stephenie to step into the role of NIBA’s President in 2026.
This is more than a milestone for Stephenie — it’s a proud moment for all of us at Davis Industrial. It’s a reflection of her dedication, her leadership, and her unwavering commitment to pushing our industry forward. While we’ll be soaking in all the connections and excitement that Dallas has to offer, we can’t help but feel the buzz about what’s waiting just around the corner in San Diego next year.
So yes, Dallas is going to be big. The networking, the learning, the chance to see our friends and partners from across the country — it’s what we look forward to every year. But let’s be honest… we’re already getting goosebumps about 2026.
We’ll see y’all in Dallas — but something tells us the real party starts in San Diego. 😉
