June 6th Cross-Border Expo Bringing British Columbia & Whatcom County Together
Ferndale Chamber of Commerce May 02, 2013
ABC Customs Brokers is proud to announce the first Cross-Border Expo, June 6th in Ferndale, Washington.
The expo will take place in Silver Reef’s brand new 10,000 square foot event center with displays from over 60 exhibitors. Throughout the expo FREE seminars related to cross-border business, real estate investment, marketing and trade logistics will be presented in the adjoining 150 seat auditorium.
The Cross-Border Expo will be an exciting opportunity for exhibitors to meet and network with several hundred affluent BC and Whatcom County visitors interested in cross-border trade, investment and tourism.
Exhibit booths (8’x6’) are available with an early bird discount before May 17th for $249, or $299 after May 17.
There is a $100 discount for Ferndale Chamber of Commerce Members.
The Expo is being heavily advertised on the radio in Whatcom County and BC and is expected to be very well attended. It will be free for attendees, although (free) registration is recommended for the seminars, as seating is limited. Priority seating will be given to those who pre-register. Free seminar registration can be found here.
British Columbia residents will be encouraged to attend the Expo to learn more about cross-border opportunities, and to take advantage of the new, higher Canada Customs exemptions ($200 / 24 hour; $800 / 48 hour).
Local businesses won’t want to miss this opportunity to purchase a booth and network with enthusiastic potential customers of means from British Columbia. Bellingham/Whatcom County Tourism will be providing suggested tours and visits to Expo attendees interested in tourist activities. Investment-minded attendees will receive similar opportunities to learn about the area from local real estate and economic development representatives. It is anticipated that the Expo will attract visitors from BC for a multi-day visit.
The First Annual Cross-Border Expo will be a one-of-a-kind marketing platform for area businesses seeking to connect with Canadians, and vice versa.
