International Buyers Program

IBP LogoThe American Dental Association (ADA) is excited about participating in the 2008 International Buyer Program, offered through the U.S. Commercial Service. This dynamic program helps bring importers and exporters from around the world together under the experience and expertise of the U.S. Department of Commerce/U.S. Commercial Service where they can successfully generate business at the leading dental conference in the U.S.A.

U.S. Exhibitors

The U.S. Commercial Service's International Buyer Program brings thousands of international buyers each year to conduct business with U.S. companies at major trade shows in the United States. This is an excellent business opportunity to meet, network, and develop business partnerships with international buyers, sales representatives, and strategic partners.

You’ll also benefit from:

  • Access to hundreds of current international trade leads in your industry
  • Hands-on export counseling, marketing analysis, and matchmaking services by country and industry experts from the U.S. Commercial Service
  • Use of an on-site International Business Center, where your company can meet privately with prospective international buyers, prospective sales representatives, and business partners and obtain assistance from experienced U.S. Commercial Service staff.

To be included in the Export Interest Directory, your company must be an exhibitor at the 2008 Annual Session. In addition, your Products and Services included in this Directory must be either:

  1. Produced, manufactured or assembled in the U.S.A.
  2. Contain no less than 51% U.S. content
  3. Be marketed as a U.S. product.

The listing is free.  If you are not yet an exhibitor, complete an application for exhibit space.
