1.  Showtime / Global Market Information Program (GMIP) -  Meet with our in-country Outdoor Industry Specialists

Outdoor Industry Specialists from many U.S. embassies/consulates will be at the show, escorting international buyer delegations. They will be available for group (GMIP) or one-on-one (Showtime) meetings to learn about your Outdoor products and offer their market insights. Whether you're targeting any of these markets for the first time, already exporting, or are looking to increase your market share, our specialists can help before, during, or after the show. In addition, they will be accompanying their buyer delegations and can facilitate introductions.  

Please look at the country list and use the registration link below to indicate which market specialists you would like to meet.  If you select more than three, we will arrange a 20-25 minute group briefing at the International Business Center on the show floor on August 4-5 at your convenience.
