ビジネスネットワーキング

１０月の終わりに私の会社が所属する Northwest Minority Business Council の全米組織が主催するマイノリティビジネス（白人以外の人がオーナーの企業）が、米国の大企業とビジネスをするための一大イベントがラスベガスで開催されます。

このショーに参加するのは今年が初めて、８００社を越える企業がブースを出して（PSP も出します）、８０００人を越える参加者が集まるイベントです。出展者リストから商品を買う側にあたる大企業のリストを見てびっくり。緊張をしない私でもこれは少し引いてしまいます。今からこのショーのために準備を進めています。

下記がこのショーに来る企業、私が名前を知ってる企業だけをリストしました。全企業に会えるわけがない。この中からターゲットを来週中に絞らないと・・・
