Putting International Business In The Spotlight
Going Global exhibition and conference returns to ExCeL London on 15-16 May
If you’re looking to expand your business internationally, export products or set up overseas operations, then you need to visit the Going Global exhibition and conference at ExCeL London on 15-16 May 2014. The show specially caters for the latest globalisation demands that are being placed on UK businesses and promises to be an unmissable event for companies that are looking to ‘go global’.
Supported by the UKTI, Going Global presents a wealth of educational seminars, workshops, networking events and interactive features – all of which are absolutely free. The event is also supported by leading international organisations including the top international trade bodies for the emerging ‘BRIC’ economies (Brazil, Russian, India, and China). Going Global is the definitive one-stop-shop to expand and monetise your business internationally.
The Going Global show has been designed specifically to give your business the opportunity to raise its profile on the global stage at the same time as acquiring the latest knowledge, information and education to better export your products or set up overseas operations in Europe, the BRICS and MINT markets, the gulf and MENA states and more. It’s this combination of learning opportunities and intense networking that makes Going Global different to any other international business show.
Entire seminars are devoted to seizing the global marketplace, with leading exhibitors and showcases to explore global markets that are more open and plentiful than they have ever been before. Exclusive seminars will focus on Europe and each of the BRICS economies in turn. Each of these territory-specific seminars will address the most important issues, challenges and opportunities which face UK companies like yours that are now seeking to expand into these countries and cultures. Going Global will help your business be ready to seize these opportunities.
Going Global attracts the world’s best business partners because the best first step towards globalising your company is to meet people who have already successfully established themselves on the world business scene. Our experts from across the globe offer you an invaluable and highly-interactive learning experience across two days that covers every aspect of establishing overseas trade. In addition, you’ll have the chance to network with thousands of people who are interested in extending their business into the international market – you may just find your ideal business partner at the show.
And the best thing is that all these seminars, workshops and networking opportunities are under one roof and completely free! This event runs within The Business Show - the UK’s biggest business exhibition - giving you even more opportunities to learn about business, find suppliers and network while you’re there. Going Global is the definitive event for any UK business looking to trade overseas.
