The Export Expo will be held virtually on
Thursday & Friday, January 25 & 26, 2024
Join us for the Export Expo – the state’s
largest and most important export event of the year
that brings together resources, training and
information for the local exporting community. Attendee
registration will open in the fall. Sponsor

The Massachusetts Export Center’s Export Expo provides a forum for exporters to connect with the wide range of export resources available in Massachusetts while learning about issues that impact their day-to-day operations.
This year’s Export Expo will again be a virtual
event that will include an exhibit area featuring
government, non-profit and private sector service
providers serving the export community. The Export
Expo will also feature a lineup of workshops, panel
discussions and special addresses on a wide variety
of export-related topics.
The Export Expo will feature influential guest
speakers and opportunities to connect with experts
to answer your specific export questions. We hope
that you will join us for the same timely and
important international trade content in a
convenient and safe virtual format! Our virtual
platform will provide opportunities for networking
and allow participants to view all of the
conference’s content, so you won’t miss a thing!
