Edmonton Business Development Mission: Join the International Trade Alliance (ITA) at the Edmonton Oil Sands Show & Conference, September 23 & 24, 2008

Alberta is a booming market, with growth fueled by the development at the oil sands. Dramatic economic and infrastructure growth make Alberta a hot market for any product that is manufactured in the Spokane region.

Canada is a friendly, accessible market for Spokane regional goods and services. Are you curious about whether or not there’s a market for your product or service in Alberta?

Give us a call and we’ll help you explore the possibilities.

The company participation cost, which includes shared booth space at the Edmonton Oil Sands Show and a hospitality event, is $1,200 per company for ITA or MWTC member companies, silver level or higher. For non-member companies and bronze level ITA members the cost is $1,500. We will ask you to provide your own company signage.

Companies interested in having 5-7 face-to-face meetings with qualified potential customers can do so at an additional cost. Please contact ITA for details.

We have room for just ten companies to participate.

We will suggest hotels and flights, but it will be the responsibility of each company to book their own arrangements. A $500 deposit is required to reserve your place. The deposit is fully refundable until August 19, 2008. The remaining balance is due August 19, 2008.
