2019 International Trade Symposium

WELCOME

Dear Friends,

We hope you will join us for the 2019 International Trade Symposium hosted by IFFCBANO. We are happy to announce that we will once again host this 2 day symposium at the beautiful, newly renovated Grand Hotel Resort & Spa Autograph Collection for our 41st year!

Those of you who have joined us at the Grand Hotel for many years will be charmed by the updated main building that was undergoing a transformation during our last symposium.  We are also excited about the new schedule implemented this year.  We hope that this format allows us to focus on business while also promoting networking and building relationships with our partners.

Our program committee is working tirelessly to put together another fantastic program focusing on the interconnected supply chain that guides international cargo on its journey by “Connecting the Dots to Global Trade”.  The goal of the International Trade Symposium is to provide quality industry education along with networking in a relaxed environment. We recognize that the success of our symposium relies on the support from our registrants and sponsors. On behalf of the symposium committee, officers, and directors, we sincerely appreciate your participation and support.

This year we will be presenting the Honorary Life Membership and installing our new board of directors during our award banquet Friday evening that will be followed with music provided by The Witness Band. Come and celebrate with us on the dance floor!

We hope you find the symposium enjoyable and beneficial to your organization and look forward to connecting with you.

Sincerely,

Cole Trosclair

President
