If you want to hear the real scoop about the recent IAMC Spring Forum in Charleston, it’s best to get it from authoritative sources.

Speaking of authoritative sources, the Forum's theme of "Team Dynamics of the Site Selection Process" was crystallized in the complementary, insightful dialogues sparked by the event's team of presenters. Here are a few examples:

Charleston, South Carolina

Executives from Dollar General, James N. Gray Co. and McCallum Sweeney talk about the site selection process for a new distribution center that ended up in Union County, S.C.

Terri Beattie, president of Lockheed Martin Corporation Properties, and consultant Michael Hickey, president of Hickey & Associates, discuss the importance of process and modeling in site selection.

Modeling is just as crucial to optimizing your transportation and logistics options, says Mike Peters, first vice president at ProLogis.
