MASS. ALLIANCE for INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COMPLETES
SUCCESSFUL SERIES OF SPRING 2006 LUNCHEON
ROUNDTABLES
The Mass. Alliance for International Business recently
completed a series of International Trade Luncheon Roundtables for
manufacturers and trade professionals across the Commonwealth.
Attendees heard from experts on topics such as "Protecting Your
Patents and Trademarks," "Choosing New Overseas Markets," and
"Sourcing and Selling in Southeast Asia." Participants praised the
roundtables; many said that they benefited most from talking to
colleagues from other companies facing similar trade obstacles,
especially in Southeast Asia. One registrant commented, "the more I
listen, the more I learn."
Special thanks to hosts New Balance, INTRAL, Hudson Lock, TD
Banknorth, and Acushnet Company, and to the Roundtable sponsor,
MassDevelopment. Stay tuned for other Roundtable opportunities from
the Mass. Alliance for International Business and Associated
Industries of Mass. (A.I.M.) coming this fall.
