The 9th Annual Global Digital City Network Conference on Oct. 27 at the Hilton Rye Town also will allow businesses to exhibit their products and services.
“This is a great way for firms interested in global trade to get exposure to some potential markets and see if this is something they should pursue,†County Executive Andrew Spano said. “Some of these cities may not be the first to come to mind when you think global business but that’s exactly why this conference will be so educational.â€
