Dallas, TX (September 9, 2019) – Site Location Partnership (SLP), a Dallas-based site selection advisory firm, announced its successful exhibition at Great American Trucking Show 2019 (GATS). SLP met with businesses to evaluate opportunities for economic development and job creation and also attended a private event in Dallas – dedicated to networking and discussions between site selectors and economic developers.
GATS 2019 is an interactive and all-encompassing convention of trucking professionals. Almost 500 exhibitors with 50,000+ products meet at GATS, representing truck, trailer, engine, component and parts manufacturers, among many others. The 2019 show, held at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center from August 22–24 and drew over 50,000 attendees to Dallas.
“It’s been several years, 2016 to be exact, since we last attended this show. It was interesting to see what’s improved and changed in our time away from the show and was certainly a positive experience. We look forward to coming back next year.” said Mark Darce, Senior Vice President of Development at SLP. “We came away pleased with connections we made from the show. Being a local company, it’s always nice to be able to exhibit at shows in our own backyard.”
The networking event brought together a group of location advisory, corporate real estate, and economic development executives. “This event allowed us to meet with site location and real estate specialists that we have a great relationship with, but don’t always get to see. So it was nice to extend those relationships to our clients we work with as well, in particular, because we are in our home area in Dallas,” said Justin Thompson, CEO of SLP.
