The International Buyer Program
|
Bringing Buyers to U.S. Trade Shows Participate in the International Buyer Program and help your exhibitors increase their international sales. The International Buyer Program recruits more than 125,000 qualified foreign buyers, sales representatives, and business partners to U.S. trade shows each year, giving your exhibitors excellent opportunities to expand business globally. |
If You’re A Trade Show Organizer
As part of the IBP, your trade show is promoted around the world and U.S. Commercial Service Trade Specialists recruit and lead buyer delegations to approximately 32 IBP trade shows.
Applications for 2010 trade shows are currently being evaluated. Please contact Blanche Ziv, IBP Director, for further information. The trade shows selected for participation in the 2010 IBP are expected to be announced in late February 2009.
If You’re Exhibiting at an IBP Trade Show
Your chances of finding the right international business partner greatly increases at a trade show that’s part of the IBP. You’ll not only meet more buyers, representatives and distributors, but your products and services can be listed in the Export Interest Directory and distributed to all international visitors.
You’ll also benefit from:
 | Access to hundreds of current international trade leads in your industry |
| Hands-on export counseling, marketing analysis, and matchmaking services by country and industry experts from the U.S. Commercial Service |
| Use of an on-site International Business Center, where your company can meet privately with prospective international buyers, prospective sales representatives, and business partners and obtain assistance from our experienced U.S. Commercial Service staff. |
