World Trade Week kicks off tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. in Room 14-220, on the 14th Floor at Baruch College, which is located at 55 Lexington Ave. in Manhattan.
Every year, the New York region’s trade and transportation community comes together in May to celebrate World Trade Week with a full agenda of educational seminars, global business networking events, and an awards breakfast that recognizes exemplary contributions in the field.
The Awards Breakfast, scheduled for May 16th, recognizes outstanding companies that have grown through global expansion. The Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT-NY) will be exhibiting at the breakfast as this is one of the best market places to meet fellow international traders and to learn the latest trends in our industry.
I will be at the OWIT-NY exhibit booth from 8:30 a.m. and encourage you to stop by and say ‘hello!’
As part of World Trade Week, OWIT-NY is having an event this Tuesday, May 17th entitled, “Emerging Markets Wine Tasting.” The evening will consist of a presentation and wine tasting of 6 wines (a mixture of red, white and dessert) from 6 different emerging wine-producing countries. During the tasting presentation there will be a selection of Murray’s cheeses and breads to complement the wines.
If you’re interested in attending, be sure to register soon as there are only a few spots remaining. You can register at www.owitny.org and click on the “Events” tab.
I will be there this Tuesday and I hope you can make it out too!
