Is your business looking to augment growth beyond its current U.S. clients? Export Live!, a unique upcoming trade event, can help small- and medium-sized Seattle businesses interested in starting or growing their international sales.

This day-long event, to be held on November 17, 2009, will focus on helping Seattle businesses navigate the international sales process and avoid pitfalls such as non-payment and intellectual property misappropriation.

Part of a national eight-city tour, Export Live! in Seattle will be hosted and attended by the heads of all of the major Federal agencies involved in export support, including the U.S. Dept of Commerce (Gary Locke); the U.S. Export-Import Bank (Fred Hochberg); the Small Business Administration (Karen Mills); the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (Leocadia Zak); Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (Ron Kirk); and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (Larry Spinelli).
