Businesses and societies across the planet are more connected than ever before. Technological advances are making it easier for companies to transport ideas and solutions to unique marketplaces at warp speed. The average person is exposed to more than 1,500 advertising messages a day, and yet consumers have more control over the amount of messages they receive than ever before.  How can you gain a competitive edge in this intense business environment?

Please join us at "The World is Open for Business" conference Thursday, September 23 at Iacocca Hall on the campus of Lehigh University where we'll feature experts in international marketing and business growth. Sessions will focus on new marketing tactics, financing, legal, and business plans, and you'll have access to the Pennsylvania Trade Representatives from more than 21 countries.  This conference is a partnership between Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation and Lehigh University's Small Business Development Center.

This event will provide you with tools that can help you communicate with diverse global markets and propel your business forward onto the world stage.
