About Hermes Expo
Your Invitation to the Hermes Expo Symposium 2003
Dear prospect participant,
We would like to invite you to the 12th HERMES EXPO INTERNATIONAL, which will take place in Atlantic City on April 5-6, 2003.
As the largest trade event for the Greek American marketplace, Hermes Expo will organize its annual trade show and exhibition and present in parallel a practical seminar on the "Advantages and Disadvantages in Doing Business in a Globalized Economy." Hermes Expo International tries consistently to respond to the fast developing needs of the global economy by focusing on ways to tighter integrate trade and investment between the United States, Greece, and Southeastern Europe.
In summary, our goals are to:
Promote trade relations between Greece, Southeastern Europe and the Americas;
Explore investment opportunities in Greece and the Southeastern European region;
Develop business and government networking between Greece and the rest of Europe and the United States of America.
Active pursuance of these goals have succeeded in making Hermes Expo the moving force and catalyst behind the unity of the Greek American business community; a critical means of strengthening the U.S.-Greek trade relations; and a contributing factor in the creation of a climate of closer communication and understanding between Greece and the Greeks living abroad.
The 2003 Hermes Expo Symposium will feature as a special theme the "Advantages and Disadvantages in Doing Business in a Globalized Economy" and it will be held at the Trump Marina Hotel on the 2nd Floor on Saturday April 5th, 2003 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM and on Sunday April 6th, 2003 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
