WORLDWIDE EVENTS

Show Time

Showtime is a service designed to help U.S. companies identify additional high-potential markets for their products while attending major Trade Shows. Showtime allows our clients to leverage their participation at a major trade event by meeting with Commercial Service Trade Advisor's from various countries to receive one-on-one counseling sessions on exporting to these markets.

Trade Missions & Trade Shows

These events are organized to “match” U.S. clients with potential business partners in foreign countries. We will assist Small to Medium Enterprise's participation in officially recognized overseas trade events, ranging from low cost catalog exhibitions to trade missions, and participation in USA pavilions in foreign trade fairs.

Domestic Shows: International Buyer Program

The U.S. Commercial Service's International Buyer Program (IBP) brings thousands of international buyers each year to meet with U.S. companies at major trade shows in the United States. Take advantage of these excellent business opportunities to meet with potential sales representatives and strategic partners at major trade events without ever leaving the country. Each year the U.S. Commercial Service selects and promotes 28 trade shows representing leading industrial sectors, such as Information Technology, Environmental Products and Services, Medical Equipment and Supplies, Energy, Food Processing, Packaging, Building and Construction Products, and Sporting Goods and Consumer Products. More than 125,000 qualified foreign buyers, prospective sales representatives, and potential business partners attend these shows, providing excellent opportunities for U.S. firms to meet, network, and develop business partnerships with these international visitors.

U.S. exhibitors at IBP events receive many valuable benefits:

• Meet with qualified foreign buyers, representatives, and distributors from all over the world
• Worldwide promotion of your products and services through the Export Interest Directory, published by the show organizers and distributed to all international visitors attending the show
• Access to hundreds of current international trade leads in your industry
• Hands-on export counseling, marketing analysis, and matchmaking services by country and industry experts from the U.S. Commercial Service
• Use of an on-site International Business Center, where your company can meet privately with prospective international buyers, sales representatives, and business partners
