Westchester to host international conference

October
3
Local business owners will have the opportunity to mingle with with international business representatives from as far away as China, Korea, Japan and Australia during an upcoming conference in Westchester County.

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.”

The conference also includes seminars related to technology issues and global markets. Presentations focused on computer security are aimed at vendors selling security-related products and services.

The Global Digital City Network, started eight years ago, is designed to promote an international environment for member communities to share information and generate business opportunities. Westchester joined the newtork at last year’s conference in Dundee, Scotland.

Other members include Dalian, Jilin, Shenyang and Yanji (China); Dubai (United Arab Emirates); Dundee (Scotland); Gold Coast (Australia); Inuyama City (Japan); and Nizhny Novgorod (Russia).
