Upcoming Meetings and Trade Missions

The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia invites you to join them on a trade tour to Shanghai and Hong Kong from September 21 - 26. The China Trade Mission is business-focused, providing participants with cultural, social, economic and political orientations in China. There will also be an opportunity to participate in the World Trade Centers Association's 36th General Assembly from September 21-23, 2005 which will include business forums on international cooperation and exchange, one-on-one matchmaking meetings and several receptions with government and diplomatic delegates from around the world. We will then travel to Hong Kong for additional business meetings and to learn about new opportunities using Hong Kong as a point of entry into Asia.

This trade mission is in conjunction with the PA China Mission to Beijing, Chengdu and Shanghai from September 15 - 23.

The following trade missions and shows will be conducted over the next fiscal year. These are very exciting markets that you may not have worked in before, or that you need to visit to meet with your trade network. As you know, we will be happy to assist you with market research and finding trading partners in preparation for these missions. Listed below is the schedule as planned.
