- Meet in small settings with U.S. Embassy leaders and government dignitaries.
- Establish high-level contacts among global private industry leaders, financial services executives and entrepreneurs, professional service organizations and industry associations.
- Gain expertise from other U.S. companies already doing business internationally.
