"The seminars have served as a tremendous learning experience, there’s always a takeaway. Whether it’s products, regulations, or financial information, the information you get is second to none."
Mark Coursore
Fleet Owner
"At MATS, I am able to create business relationships that help future business endeavors. I form these relationships at the show, which then makes following up that much easier."
Cory Ward
Fleet Owner
"I am able to see and test products to know if they will actually help and save money. There’s nothing better than seeing face-to-face if a product and solution will work, it’s not your typical marketing hype. I get answers to questions I can’t get anywhere else."
Dennis Haag
Dealer/Distributor
"It’s so nice to be able to test the products with live demonstrations at the show. At MATS we were able to test the capabilities of each product to find the best fit for our needs."
