We have hosted dozens of press trips, bringing reporters to our clients' locations for firsthand experiences and interviews, directed myriad prospect missions, bringing our clients face-to-face with prospective investors, and countless site selection luncheons, where our clients meet with location advisors to discuss the advantages of doing business in their areas.
