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 registration is now open (see below).

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! 
 

**Call for Sponsors: The Export Expo will provide a forum for service providers to display their information and connect with exporters from throughout the state. We invite law firms, banks, freight forwarders, translation firms, consultants, global trade automated solutions providers, government authorities, and other export service providers to sponsor the Expo, which will also include workshops, panel discussions, and special addresses on a wide variety of trade-related topics.
