The International Buyer Program

The International Buyer Program is being sunsetted at the end of calendar year 2019.  No new calls for applications will be issued for this Program.  The IBP has been replaced with a new Trade Event Partnership Program effective July 1, 2019.  A federal register notice announcing this change is forthcoming. 

Bringing International Buyers to U.S. Trade Shows

The IBP is a joint government-industry effort that brings thousands of international buyers to the United States for business-to-business matchmaking with U.S. firms exhibiting at major industry trade shows. Every year, the IBP results in approximately a billion dollars in new business for U.S. companies, and increased international attendance for participating U.S. trade show organizers.

Whether you are a show organizer, U.S. exhibitor, or international buyer, we can help you grow your business.
