These sessions will include an impressive roster of international speakers on a range of topics designed to cater to your broad export and trade policies. Featured discussions will include export opportunities and policies for small enterprises, environmental technologies, alternative energy, emerging markets, local and regional export models and much, much more.

Senior Commercial Officers representing U.S. Embassies from multiple countries will be available for one-on-one meetings. These meetings will provide a forum to discuss your specific business interest in select markets. These appointments must be scheduled in advance and require a $100 fee.
