You are invited to join us at the Farnborough International Air Show, July 14 - 20, 2008 as part of the California Aerospace Booth.

The Center for International Trade Development (CITD) is a state-funded initiative that promotes California trade and was awarded a grant to assist California Aerospace exporters through the California Aerospace Export Training and Enabler Program (AETEP). With the grant funds, they are able to subsidize your costs in the California Aerospace booth at Farnborough. The fee to participate is only $1,000.

The California Aerospace booth is in a prime location at the U.S. International Pavilion. We have designed the booth to tastefully stand out from the rest. Its eye appeal will bring attendees and potential customers into the booth to view your product literature and enter in to discussions with you.

Members of the program will benefit from the following at Farnborough:

• Shared access to the California Aerospace booth at Farnborough for meetings, discussions and sales presentations.
• The booth will have 4 meeting tables that can be reserved for your appointments. You will also have access to other meeting rooms in the U.S. pavilion for private meetings.
• Access to the U.S. Pavilion Exhibitor’s Lounge
• Two 36 inch LED monitors for your presentations that we will cycle in the booth throughout the show
• Place to display your product literature
