Big Iron International Visitor Program 2025

Don’t miss exploring new opportunities through the Big Iron International Visitor Program, taking place September 8 -11, 2025 in Fargo, North Dakota!

Under the Trade Event Partnership Program (TEPP), the U.S. Commercial Service has identified the Big Iron International Visitor Program (IVP) as an excellent opportunity for agriculture industry stakeholders from across the globe to travel to North Dakota for a week of networking, education, and site visits, and to engage with leading agricultural manufacturing, machinery, and technology companies based in the state. Learn more about the Big Iron IVP and apply to participate.

The Big Iron IVP includes a dedicated international visitors day at the Big Iron Farm Show, which is the largest farm show in the Upper Midwest and features the latest technologies in large-scale agriculture production. The show is ideal for international buyers and U.S. manufacturers or distributors of large agricultural equipment, and it is expected to include more than 900 exhibitors and attract more than 60,000 attendees.

The U.S Commercial Service and the North Dakota Trade Office are collaborating through the TEPP to promote the Big Iron IVP, which recruits international buyer delegations from around the world to participate in dedicated IVP programming, including the Big Iron Farm Show.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
