The MN District Export Council, in cooperation with the U.S. Commercial Service, is pleased to present the Gateway to Europe conference, the second of two regional International Trade Administration conferences to be held in Minneapolis in 2013! This annual conference will bring more than 25 Senior Commercial Diplomats and U.S. international trade officials covering the European, Russian and Turkish markets. This conference is an excellent opportunity for businesses—especially small and medium size businesses—to ask questions in one-on-one consultations about selling their products and services internationally. Participants will discover how to identify new export opportunities, increase market share and competitive edge, and develop strategic relationships with those that are on the forefront of business and exporting in these key markets. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to: • Pre-schedule one-on-one meetings with Senior Commercial Diplomats*; • Attend keynote addresses by leaders from government and industry; • Share and learn best practices in each country; • Interact with public and private service providers; and • Identify where their next, best business opportunity may be in Europe, Russia and Turkey. * Limited appointments available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register early to ensure you get appointments for your priority markets.
