| Welcome to the Site Selection Network Conclusion of a successful 2007 Bio International Convention ended with the announcement of an partnership between The Biotechnology Industry Organization and Site Solution Netowrk. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) was founded in 1993 to represent biotechnology companies at the local, state, federal and international levels. Site Selection Network has signed an exclusive agreement with G E Commercial Finance to provide a comprehensive program that includes site selection, incentive and compliance management, energy and other "green" programs, and the wide array of finance options offered through the GE Real Estate program in a single source "turnkey" economic development program for expanding or relocating companies. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), representing nearly 100 of the nations largest aerospace and aircraft manufacturing companies, has announced its exclusive endorsement and partnership with Site Selection Network and Location Management Services. SSN has signed agreements to provide site selection services to GAMA members. GAMA represents the over $150 billion dollar annual aerospace manufacturing industry that includes high profile corporations such as Goodrich, Cessna, Boeing, Airbus, Lear, Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, Lockheed, Gulfstream, Piper, Raytheon, Embraer, and many others. The growth of the aerospace manufacturing in 2006 exceeded 12.9% versus a national general industry growth rate of only 3%. The aviation / aerospace industry represents over 1.2 million high paying jobs and is growing at nearly a million jobs per year as international demand for products in fast emerging industrial countries such as China and India fuel production. What happens in Vegas isn't going to stay in Vegas when it comes to the attendees at SSN's First Annual Networking Conference. Three days of seminars and panels on current economic development trends in high profile target industries such as biotechnology, logistics, automotive, commercial real estate, and medical device manufacturing conducted by the CEO's that make those industries go. Attendees also were able to fine tune their own EDO operations with seminars on finance, industry targeting, incentive development, community marketing, and trade show management by the nation's leading consultants in those fields.
Throw in a World class venue like the Venetian, the Phantom of the Opera, and that entertainment that is uniquely Vegas, and you have attendees who said:
"Jim - first allow me to congratulate you, Kelly, Peter and John on what I thought was one of the better conferences I had ever attended. You can definitely count on me being at the next one, and bringing along a few more folks."…Art Whelan Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership "Jim…a belated note to say how much I enjoyed the SSN Conference in Las Vegas last week. Your speaker lineup and program were just perfect. We are working hard to get this regional marketing organization off the ground and conferences like this are an excellent way for me to get connected with the right people. Thanks!."…W. Andrew Burke, The Regional Alliance for Economic Development "Just a short note to thank you for what I sincerely hope was the "First Annual Networking Conference" put on SSN. Finally someone is delivering information that is coming largely from others in the trenches as well as folks in closely related professions. I came away with a lot of answered questions and sources to find information on issues that have never been clearly answered for me in the past. I have been in this business since 1966 and have been to an endless mix of "how to" conferences and seminars and some of those have been good but none of them have come to the grass roots level of filling in the detail that you and John Schuetz did."…Russell Staiger President/CEO
Bismarck-Mandan Development Association "Jim……I thought the Site Selection Network conference was great. Hopefully, more site selectors will attend in the future."...Michael Nuby Manager, Project Management, Southern California Edison The site for SSN Annual Conference 2008 is the City by the Bay - San Francisco!
