On Tuesday, May 3rd, Owen George presented "Successful Strategies for the European Market" at the U.S. Commercial Services EuroTrade Forum 2010 in Orlando, Florida.
Meeting at the beautiful Marriot World Center resort, several hundred members of the MEP joined representatives of USA based manufacturing - and the U.S. Commercial Services Europe regional team.
Representing Thermaco, Inc., Owen shared strategies and real life experiences in the journey to succeed in exporting to Europe.
A highlight of the day was a visit from U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, who spoke of the big challenge ahead to meet President Obama's goal of doubling U.S. exports over the next five years.
Thanks go to the outstanding MEP and U.S. Commercial Services teams for hosting this outstanding event!
