Organized by the University of Southern California, with the full support of the U.S. Commercial Service, the Asia/Pacific Business Outlook conference is the longest running, most successful regional conference focused specifically on Asian markets. Over 60 seminars will be offered during the two days, and participants can meet and network with business leaders from 17 economies. Last year there were over 350 participants from 31 states across the United States.
Added to this year's program is a special focus on the BRIC economies. By 2050 the combined economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China could eclipse the combined economies of today's richest countries. At APBO, U.S. companies can learn first-hand about these important markets in their business strategies. There are clear opportunities for U.S. exporters seeking new sales opportunities and markets in the Asia/Pacific region- and beyond.
APBO also provides the rare opportunity for exporters and trade industry leaders to meet seventeen U.S. Senior Commercial Officers (SCOs) from the Asia/Pacific region, plus Brazil, India, Mexico and Russia at one venue. They will present country outlooks, speak in small workshops, meet with companies in private, one-on-one consultations, advise on current challenges and opportunities, and identify new business to increase international sales.
