Why Do You Attend MATS?
“I come to MATS to have face to face conversations with suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. Being based out of Canada, this show provides me the opportunity to really speak to everybody I need to under one roof.”
Why Do You Recommend MATS?
“I recommend coming to MATS because it helps you stay updated on the current news in the trucking industry. The amount of education and knowledge you get from attending the show really helps your business out. I take everything I learn from this show and put it back into my business.”
“At MATS, I am able to create business relationships that help for future business endeavors. I form these relationships at the show, which then make following up with the company representatives that much easier when it comes to getting questions answered and buying their product.”
Networking:
“At MATS, I am able to connect with companies I have created business relationships with. We use products from Renegades, Lucas Oil and Mercer Transportation, so I research before the show where they are going to be and what new products they have. By being able to speak with these company representatives, I get all my questions answered and buy their new products that benefit my business.”
Buying Products:
“At MATS, I am able to find products on show specials that I can’t find elsewhere. I come into the show with a budget, knowing that I am going to spend a certain amount of money on products that can benefit my company. You can’t find these products for a reasonable price anywhere else but here at the show.”
More Attendee Spotlights
“MATS is the only show I go to. It’s the only show I make sure to take off time from work to attend. I never miss this show, the whole industry is really here all at once.”
“At MATS, we are able to network and connect with existing companies we have built relationships with over the years. It gives us the chance to do business face to face and really see what companies are doing that can help us improve.”
“It’s hard to describe just how much is going on at one place during MATS.”
