As New Yorkers we depend heavily on international commerce for our jobs, standard of living and the myriad goods and services available to our richly diverse population. Indeed, world trade drives the New York economy.

Every year, the New York trade community comes together in May to celebrate World Trade Week with a full agenda of educational seminars, global business networking events, and an awards breakfast that recognizes exemplary contributions in the field.

Today's global economy provides unprecedented opportunities for business growth through international expansion. Learn more about these opportunities, and how to take advantage of them, by visiting the World Trade Week 2008 calendar of events.

Do not miss this unique opportunity to access key resources and to network with New York's international business community. Join us May 19-23 for World Trade Week 2008.
