2 Day Event - Completed
International Economic Summit - "Brewing Up Business with Africa"
Please join us for an outstanding opportunity to expand your international business partners and/or explore the possibilities your business or organization may have by meeting with African Companies. Once you register, you will be able to research the companies attending, and request meetings with those companies at the Summit on November 10th, 2008.
The Earlier you register, the better the Blend! The business-to-business meetings are pre-scheduled through an electronic matchmaking matrix, which must be completed at the time of registration. To ensure that your company is perfectly matched, select the industry(ies) that apply to your company on the left, and prepare a brief description of your needs/services. Be specific, participants will be able to review the statement to request additional meetings.
We match companies up that may be able to increase business for each other. The catch is, each trader only has a few meeting slots, this is why registering early is in your best interest. We can work together to find you the perfect line-up.
The 2008 Summit will be held at Martin’s Crosswinds; Greenbelt, Maryland USA. Beginning on the 10th, we will host a series of optional workshops to mix with your meetings. On the 11th we will conclude the Summit with our spectacular Gala, don’t miss out!
