Global Site Consultants Shown Diverse, Collaborative Industry of Sonoma County

Site consultants from firms around the globe were impressed last week with Sonoma County’s diverse industry and commitment to the economy through industry collaboration and the concerted efforts of public and private organizations to help the economy grow.

Sonoma County BEST hosted the Meet the Consultants Forum from March 4 - 6, approximately 80 economic development professionals, developers and realtors attended to acquire insight from six global site selection consultants on the economic forecast, industrial trends, and to build relationships with the consultants.

BEST was not only able to bring this entire event to Sonoma County, but it gave us the opportunity to learn about how to be a competitive region for business attraction. As the host sponsor, BEST and several board members held a reception at Paradise Ridge the evening before the event to welcome in the six consultants.

The day following the event, BEST took the site consultants for a breakfast and tour of Keysight Technologies where Hamish Gray, Senior Vice President, Chief of Staff of Keysight Technologies, explained why Keysight continues to grow and thrive in Sonoma County. The consultants were impressed at hearing the different organizations and businesses that work together for the greater good of the economy and the community.

This three day event gave us the opportunity to really get to know these key players in corporate site selection while showcase Sonoma County in a very memorable way.
