Pierce County's Export Forum Set for April 26

The Pierce County Economic Development Department and the World Trade Center Tacoma are teaming up to host an Export Forum this month to help local businesses succeed.

With 95 percent of potential customers living outside the United States, exporting goods and services makes great sense and can add significantly to a firm’s bottom line, stated in the press release issued on Wednesday.

The free event will take place on Friday, April 26, at the Environmental Services Building, 9850 64th Street W., in University Place.

Washington State Commerce Director Brian Bonlender will be featured as the keynote speaker at the annual event.

Participants will learn about exporting from private companies and federal, state and local experts.

The event is free, and local business leaders are invited for networking and meeting with their fellow professionals.
