The IFP program goes beyond standard exhibitor support. It extends your company's promotion across the following global markets: Austria, China (Beijing and Guangzhou), the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, and Taiwan. Commercial specialists at U.S. Embassies in these markets will actively promote your company via emarketing, email, and fax campaigns to targeted electronics industry contacts and encourage them to get in touch with you electronically or arrange meetings with you at the show. Once a prospective lead has marked your company profile, you will be notified automatically. Please use this opportunity and register for the IFP trade lead program today! The deadline for the IFP registration is Thursday, September 13th, 2007.
