#3- It attracts a global business audience
As the President of an exhibit services company that works many trade shows in the DMV, I’ve gained unique insight into what makes this area so lucrative for business. The Washington DC area attracts a global business audience, making it a prime location to network and close deals. Many different sectors and fields have a strong presence in the DMV. These include political, economic, and government entities, as well as healthcare, technology, and aerospace industries. It’s a major hub on the East Coast close to several big cities, and its top-notch facilities, tourist attractions, and cultural landmarks cement it as a consistently desirable destination.
