For 27 years, the Annual International Business Forum and Networking Night has been been co-organized by FACCNE and the Global Business Alliance of New England and attended by the international business community.  In 2021, the panel discussion will be moving virtual.  Stay tuned for the announcement of speakers who will be discussing what trade and economic developments businesses and corporations are expecting for the next presidential term.

The topic for 2021 will be around what the next four years will bring in terms of trade and economic outlook to the international business community and will touch on topics such as tariffs, sanctions, Brexit, trade agreements (or the lack thereof) and of course the pandemic impact.
