BRIC FastTrack Forum

April 30, 2009
The Ritz Carlton, Tysons Corner, VA    

A full day program focused on networking and practical advice you can use to help grow your business here through exports to, investments in/from, and partnerships with businesses in Brazil, Russian, India and China (BRIC).

Are you or your clients contemplating market opportunities in Brazil, Russia, India or China?  Does today’s volatile economy create more opportunities or risk in these markets?  What are the opportunities? How do you manage risk? Where do you get started? What types of ventures work best?

 

Expand your knowledge and business contacts in this area. Connect with and learn directly from a unique gathering of business leaders and government leaders and nationally recognized experts in these markets.
