Hello, folks! The 2014 Mid America Truck Show is now in the books. There were over 79,000 attendees from all 50 States and 78 Foreign Countries; with 1,077 exhibiting companies from 43 States and 10 Foreign Countries; 245 Media Correspondents and 1,200,000 square feet of space.
Here is a report from Mr. Toby L. Young, President, Exhibit Management Associates, Inc.:
The 2014 Mid-America Trucking Show marked another incredible year for the show and once again lived up to MATS’ billing as “the three biggest days on the heavy-duty trucking calendar.”
Throughout the event, the show floor teemed with qualified attendees and exhibiting companies taking full advantage of the unparalleled face-to-face environment that MATS provides.
With exhibitor and media events, live demos, product unveils, seminars, and unmatched networking opportunities; MATS once again provided the best opportunity in the industry to research the latest in heavy-duty. By the close of the show, the attendee and exhibitor response echoed the overwhelming sentiment that “no other show offers more under one roof than the Mid-America Trucking Show.”
By all measures, 2014 was an immensely successful show for us, but we are never satisfied and will continue to seek-out ways to improve the show each and every year. We’ve already begun receiving requests for next year and are working to make it an even bigger and better event.
We and the entire industry are looking forward to MATS 2015, so please mark your calendars for March 26-28, 2015.
