Internet Resources for the Exporter Workshop

Sponsored by
The NAFTA Intermodal Transportation Institute at Dowling College
 

Take full advantage of resources available on the Internet to assist you in
exporting your products.

This is not a workshop on how to export, but rather the focus is to review and demonstrate resources now available for you on the Internet. Finding web sites that are informative as well as useful is a time consuming process. Most small to midsize companies do not have the time or the resources to devote to surfing the web. Therefore, we have done the work for you. We invite you to join us along with noted experts to review web-based resources we believe could be of value to you the exporter.
