MANAMA: The American Chamber of Commerce in Bahrain (AmCham Bahrain) is hosting a free informational session tomorrow for Bahraini exporters interested in promoting their products in the United States.
The session from 5-6pm will discuss how to attend ASD Market Week, one of the oldest and largest consumer trade shows in the US, now available for online attendance.
Though the show was unable to happen in-person, many are anxious to get back to business, which is why the organisers announced plans to enhance the ASD online vendor directory to be a Virtual Product Sourcing Platform, from October 2 2020 to March 2021.
This virtual directory gives the 244,000 invited buyers and 2,700 vendors the opportunity to connect, discover and conduct business to business meetings.
Buyers can source new products, refill orders and schedule appointments all through the online platform.
This virtual platform enables vendors to showcase their full product line in a searchable, easy to navigate directory.
At the end of the online trade show, exporters are also invited to attend a full scale, live edition of ASD Market Week from February 28-March 3 next year in Las Vegas.
The show focuses primarily on wholesale of fashion accessories, houseware, gifts and toys, apparel, affordable footwear, holiday and seasonal merchandise, souvenirs and novelties, electronic accessories, bedding and bath, health and beauty products and general merchandise.
All members of AmCham will receive an eight-hour, free specialised training on how to attend the trade show and make the most of the experience as a vendor.
Registration for the free online information session is open at www.amchambahrain.org.
