Dear Pacific South Region Exporters, 

We wish you a happy holiday season this year and would hope that despite the challenges of negative forces in parts of the world today we see bravery and fortitude that may inspire you to reach new goals and success.  We will continue to move forward as we close out the year with some great opportunities to plug into.  However, I would be remiss to not say thank you to the DEC of Southern California and all who participated in the successful Discover Global Markets Pacific Rim Consumer Conference, October 28-30, Orange County, California.  Over 450 attendees participated in the conference. The DGM produced 670 custom market entry consultations and arranged more than 400 meetings with Asia Pacific buyers. The plenaries, panels, and keynotes all produced a concise but strong message reflecting that Pac Rim Consumers want our products and services.

In the weeks to come we want you to seriously consider one of the most dynamic manufacturing shows in the world, Hannover Messe 2016, April 26-29 in Hannover, Germany.  This year the United States will be the country host and feature a national pavilion and separate USA pavilions, too.  This show is likely to help take your business to the next level so check out Hannover Messe.

Additionally, we have Power Generation International in Las Vegas in early December along with key shows in the new year with the Consumer Electronics Show and The Shot Show in Las Vegas.  All these shows feature our International Buyer Program.   

Lastly, I would like to introduce our new Regional Communications Specialist, Derrick Small. Contact him for all regional media related inquiries. You can reach him via email or by phone at 949.372.0725. Welcome aboard, Derrick! 

Well Wishes and Happy New Year to you and your family.   

Richard M. Swanson Jr.
Pacific South Network Director, U.S. Commercial Service
