The 7th Annual Northeastern Wisconsin Global Trade Conference will provide business professionals with the tools and skills needed to compete in an ever more demanding global trade environment. Now more than ever, Wisconsin companies engaged in international trade need to be creative and take advantage of all resources at their disposal in order to win in the trade game.
The conference is being presented in conjunction with U.S. Rep. Tom Petri (R-6th District) and U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen (D-8th District).
Keynote speakers are John Richter, senior vice president, small business, Export-Import Bank of the United States, and Sarah Macdonald, vice president of global sales and general manager - International Division at Appleton.
WBAY-TV news anchor Bill Jartz will serve as master of ceremonies for the opening and luncheon keynote sessions.
For the first time in the conference's history, Congressmen Petri and Kagen will jointly host a morning "town hall meeting" on trade, providing opportunities for the business community to learn more about international trade and engage in open discussion about trade issues that matter to their companies.
