Press Release:
Are you considering or already operational in sourcing and manufacturing overseas? Or perhaps, you are interested in how to break into new markets abroad. In either case, there are many factors to consider that can make or break your experience.
Everything from factory locations, local business partnerships, cultural differences, expectations and IP protection are just a few issues that can reap high rewards or have serious ramifications if not worked out in advance.
SDSI’s upcoming Chalk Talk will provide insight and tips from some of our experts on how to efficiently and effectively conduct business internationally, with an emphasis on Asia. Following a brief introduction to the presenters, attendees will have the opportunity, through roundtable breakouts, to ask the experts important questions and learn new approaches to create and/or expand their overseas business practices.
And of course no SDSI event is complete without networking. Plan to keep the international business strategizing conversations going over Wahoo’s Taco, ACTIVATE water and cold Sapporo in the TransWorld Skatepark.
