Americas GlobalScot Connect Event

The Americas GlobalScot Connect Event 2010

A unique opportunity beckons for a meeting of minds between some of the world's leading business people and Scotland's most exciting growth companies.

The Americas GlobalScot Connect Event 2010 will take place on November 10, at the New York Warwick Hotel, with the theme of "Leadership and Ambition." The last eighteen months have been particularly tough for many Scottish companies, but in such challenging economic conditions, it is more important than ever to exploit business opportunities in new markets, particularly overseas.

The conference programme will provide practical examples of how innovation and creativity can offer a means to survive and prosper in today's challenging environment.

It looks to build on the success of previous GlobalScot events, most recently the Glasgow conference in November 2009, by facilitating new connections and introductions between Scotland's most exciting and ambitious companies and its international GlobalScot community.

Any companies seeking to develop a more international perspective for their business, and looking beyond Scotland for opportunities to grow, are being urged to register for this event, which offers:

• An unrivalled opportunity to make face-to-face connections with GlobalScots based in the USA;
• Mentoring, support and advice from leading business people;
• Opportunities to share your company's future aspirations with GlobalScots operating successfully in their respective geographies.

There is also a programme of meetings and interactive workshops, offering the chance to network and share ideas with other companies and GlobalScot members. The message to interested companies, from Jim Reid, the newly appointed Director of the GlobalScot Network, is simple:

"Sign up now to help create new international business opportunities and play your part in generating future economic growth for Scotland."
