Every year, a number of major US trade shows request inclusion in the U.S. Commercial Service's International Buyer Program. In order to be considered, the fair must be the leading show in its industry, a good percentage of its exhibitors must be exporters (or be interested in exporting) and there must be special provisions or services for foreign business visitors. To check out the current trade shows in the buyers program visit the Export.gov website and find out what opportunities await you in the US.

The U.S. Commercial Service publicizes these events around the world and the posts in various countries recruit international delegations to visit these shows. The U.S. Commercial Service provides a competitive travel package to attend the show, and can offer a range of value-added services for those international companies in their delegation.
