Join us for the 15th Annual Export Expo – the state’s largest and most important export event of the year that brings together resources, training and information for the local exporting community.
The Massachusetts Export Center’s Export Expo provides a forum for exporters to connect with the wide range of export resources available in Massachusetts while learning about issues that impact their day-to-day operations.
The Export Expo is a virtual event that will include an exhibit area featuring government, non-profit and private sector service providers serving the export community. The Export Expo will feature a lineup of workshops, panel discussions and special addresses on a wide variety of export-related topics.
This year’s Export Expo will focus on current and imminent developments in our international trade environment, including the impact of the presidential election, geopolitical landscape, policy, regulation and enforcement on global trade operations. Critical issues such as export control and economic sanctions policy, potential implementation of widespread tariffs, escalating regulatory enforcement and more will be addressed, with a focus on helping companies to remain nimble while navigating and responding to a dynamic and increasingly complex global trade environment.
