Learn how to combat this new business imperative from three local successful exporters.  Representatives will share their experiences at this breakfast forum about how they prioritized their international sales channels and are now operating with an extensive global footprint!

Panelists scheduled to speak at the event include representatives from Bird Technologies Group, Wright Tool Company and Codonics, Inc.

                                                 "Finding International Markets for Your Products"

8:00 am Registration & Continental Breakfast       8:30-10:30 am Presentation and Q&A

Cost is $15.00 for members and $20.00 for non-members

Each panelist will share their insights and experiences regarding:

1) Transitioning from a reactive to proactive exporter, 2) Determining the best sales channels, 3) Shipping and logistic

challenges, and 4) Getting Paid.
