DISTRIBUTECH International 2024

The Trade Event Partnership Program at DISTRIBUTECH 2024!


Under the Trade Event Partnership Program (TEPP), the U.S. Commercial Service (USCS) has identified DISTRIBUTECH as an excellent opportunity for U.S. companies to expand their international business in the energy industry.

In partnership with Clarion Events, the U.S. Commercial Service is recruiting international buyer delegations from Algeria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ethiopia, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, and Türkiye to attend DISTRIBUTECH International to meet with U.S. exhibitors at the show. More countries added each week!


Complimentary International Sales Opportunities for U.S. Exhibitors at DISTRIBUTECH 2024

•    Business-to-Business Matchmaking (B2B) Meetings

The B2B meetings, which connect overseas buyers and government officials with U.S. exhibitors, are an excellent opportunity to advance your company’s sales outside of the U.S.  These meetings will take place virtually before DISTRIBUTECH or at the conference at a pre-arranged location.  
 
•    International Market Counseling (IMC) Meetings

Through the IMC Meetings program, U.S. Embassy and Consulate Energy Specialists will be onsite for one-on-one meetings with U.S. companies to discuss country-specific market opportunities and challenges, trade barriers, export finance options, and U.S. government advocacy. Connect with energy experts in your specific countries of interest via these virtual meetings before DISTRIBUTECH or in-person at the conference.  

•    U.S. Exhibitor Directory (for International Buyers)

List your company in the U.S. Exhibitor Directory, which will be shared with the international buyers attending DISTRIBUTECH 2024. This directory is provided to U.S. Embassy and Consulate recruited international buyers and partners who are aiming to connect with U.S. companies at the show. The U.S. company’s product/service overview, countries and regions of interest, booth location, and company contact are included in the directory. This is a targeted approach which will bring international buyers directly to your booth at DISTRIBUTECH.

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.
