b-Global events

The International Trade Team at the Chamber regularly hold events that will interest importers and exporters by exposing them to experts both in global business and in trade policy. The vision for these international events is to build understanding, foster opportunities for New Zealand companies and provide attendees information about the markets they trade with, or have the potential to trade with.

b-Global events provide companies the opportunity to express their trading concerns with people who can make a difference and a create a forum in which to meet, network and share experiences with other New Zealand traders. Events take a variety of formats including breakfasts, lunches, trade summits and networking after five functions. Speakers include international business leaders, political leaders, senior government officials, ambassadors, and local experts on international business.
