ANZACC Midwest Roundtable:
Facing Challenging Economic Times – Entering and Succeeding in the US Market

The Board of ANZACC Midwest would like to invite members and friends to a roundtable discussion that will feature a specialist panel discussing this important topic.

We will draw from the experiences of senior US-based executives at BiOWiSH Technologies, FCm Travel Solutions (Flight Centre) and Michael Hill International and discuss how they are navigating the entry and penetration of the US market by their companies, in these difficult economic times. While undisputed leaders in their sectors in Australia and New Zealand, each of these companies is at a different stage in their growth curve in North America and should provide interesting insights on the challenges, and opportunities, to be faced in the "new normal" economy.

The session will be as interactive as possible so that we can draw on the experience of the greater group in relation to effective networking and business development strategies in the US.

Panel:

Ian Smith – Senior Executive Vice President, Global Animal Agriculture, BiOWiSH Technologies
Cameron McLeod – Regional Sales Director, FCm Travel Solutions (Flight Centre Ltd)
Darcy Harkins – President of Sales and Operations USA, Michael Hill International
Ravi Malhotra – Partner at Accenture, will lead the discussion

Thursday, 20 May 2010

Time:

5.30pm – networking
6:00pm – panel discussion
