Have you heard of World Trade Week? Each year in May, trade organizations and businesses come together to celebrate and promote international trade. Events and seminars are taking place all month around the city. If you have an interest in international commerce or want to network with professionals, check out the full calendar of events. Some events require paid registration, but others are completely free.
Definitely check out “MCC Young Professionals Going Global”, a networking event that will be held in the West Village next week. Tickets are $15, but refreshments will be provided.
The kickoff to World Trade Week in NYC is held at Baruch each May with an awards ceremony and breakfast. This year, I helped organize a “Share Your Knowledge” station where guests could submit tweets that would be displayed live throughout the venue. Check out some of the tweets we sent out below!
