International Business Partners- Register to Attend

Unlock the potential of the leading U.S. marketplace for international meetings during daylong, interactive programs. The 2006 HSMAI World Quest is filled with roundtable discussions between international planners and international business partners getting to know each other and getting to know more from top-quality educational programs.

Business partners will be placed at roundtables identified by the name of their organization and the planners will be moved to different roundtables throughout the course of the day for the greatest networking opportunities. At each roundtable the international business partner will participate in the program discussions with the planners and will deliver examples and references to the topics by using their organization as examples. Your message will have maximum reach and your opportunity to develop relationships with potential buyers will grow exponentially. This is direct contact with the international marketplace, not a trade show booth. Take a seat at the table with international clients at the 2006 HSMAI World Quest!
