In Summary
PNDC assembles a delegation of regional businesses to attend DSEI every other year in London . Because of grants through each state ’ s SBA , each company can receive funding to attend the conference . Once at the conference , PNDC secures a large booth for the delegation where they are all represented . Each delegation member receives coaching on doing business internationally and best practices for representing their company . They can also take B-to-B meetings with buyers . Ironically , Ryser added that some of the delegates in attendance travel across the world with the delegation and end up making a business relationship with someone from their own state !
