April 20 - 25, 2009
Bogotá, Barranquilla & Cartagena

The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce  is to host a business mission to Bogota, Barranquilla and Cartagena Colombia, April 20-25. This mission is part of the Greater Miami Chamber’s Americas Linkage Program that facilitates business development opportunities in the Americas through a series of business missions throughout the Western Hemisphere. The Program includes country briefings, seminars and networking opportunities. The objective of our mission is to connect our delegates with business leaders from private companies, business organizations and/or government to offer them our services (and to a small degree products). We hope that first time visitors will consider Colombia as a future market for their goods and services, and current exporters strengthen their ties with Colombia and their business contacts. During our visit, on April 20, the Chamber will organize a seminar in Bogota titled “How to do Business in Florida” topics will include: how to open/establish a company in the U.S., immigration, franchising opportunities among others. The mission dates will be as follow: Bogota (April 20-21), Barranquilla (April 22-23) and Cartagena (April 24).

The Americas Linkage 2009 will provide opportunities for business leaders and professionals to share best practices in areas relevant to international business – both locally and abroad. The conference also presents an excellent opportunity to meet Latin American and Caribbean business executives interested in doing business in Florida.
