Program Description

For Global Business Program participants, our experienced staff, market experts, industry leaders, government agencies and non- governmental organizations come together to help companies successfully navigate this specialized and dynamic market. Designed for international exhibitors and visitors to Expo, the program includes exclusive in-depth seminars on the many aspects involved in understanding, entering and competing in the natural products marketplace; market analysis, regulatory requirements, labeling and advertising, website design and regulations, public education and PR, dedicated tours of the show floor; introductions, presentations and meetings with buyers, and review and advice from industry leaders, lawyers, market experts and consultants. There’s a world of difference between just arriving at Expo and having a guided experience to help you make the most of your visit. The Global Business Program helps you achieve success in the American natural products marketplace.

The GBP also assists countries, donor organizations and NGOs in selecting the right companies to bring to Expo based upon their readiness for the North American market. Once a delegation has been chosen or a company decides to exhibit, we assist in assuring their readiness by providing access to timely and accurate information about the market, regulations for entering the United States, appropriate sales and marketing materials and the specialized area of planning and executing an effective and successful tradeshow exhibit. If a company or organization needs specialized assistance that is not provided by New Hope Natural Media, we will arrange for one of our selected advisers and consultants to provide this support.

Throughout the process of getting ready, planning, arranging travel and accommodations, arriving, exhibiting and leaving Expo, the Global Business Program team is there to help you achieve a successful Expo experience. During the show, we provide excellent training and education, support, strategic introductions and other program elements designed specifically for the international visitor.
