Lt. Governor Barbara O'Brien and the
recipients of the 2009 Governor's Awards for Excellence in Exporting.

World Trade Day 2009, Trade in Turbulent Times: Great Challenge Brings Great Opportunity, provided an opportunity to meet and hear from experienced international executives who have successfully led their businesses in the global marketplace during these difficult times. Despite the many uncertainties around the world, international business remains an important part of the Colorado and global economy. For 29 years, World Trade Day has been the signature educational and networking event for businesses and individuals engaged in international trade. This year, we welcomed Lieutenant Governor Barbara O'Brien as our opening breakfast speaker. The Lieutenant Governor shared her thoughts and insights into how and why international trade continues to play a growing role in Colorado's economy. The Lieutenant Governor also recognized the winners of the 2009 Governor's Awards for Excellence in Exporting.

In addition to Lieutenant Governor O'Brien's opening remarks, Thomas Hoenig, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, provided a breakfast keynote presentation on the global financial crisis and the outlook for the U.S. economy.

The conference portion of World Trade Day 2009 again focused on the key industry clusters that are driving Colorado's economic growth. Industry focused breakout sessions provided attendees with a chance to hear from leading Colorado businesses and how they are not only dealing with the difficult global economic situation but overcoming it and planning for the future. Experts from all aspects of Colorado's international business community came together to discuss and share strategies for turning global challenges into global opportunities.

World Trade Day 2009 finished with luncheon remarks by KieAnn Brownell, President of the Metro Denver Sport Commission who provided an update on the recent Sportaccord gathering in Denver and the important business of international sports. This was the first time Sportaccord was held in the Americas, placing Denver once again in the international spotlight.


The requirements of international trade are constantly changing. Between the creation of new regulations and the updates and changes to existing requirements, the modern trade professional can find themselves behind the curve on policy changes in Washington. To make the burden a little easier, we invite you to join us for a half-day seminar focused on keeping you up-to-date and ahead of these changes and proposed regulations. Trade issues don’t have to be boring! The seminar presenter, Pete Mento is a highly sought after speaker on matters of international trade who has lectured to thousands of people all over the world. He is the least boring "Trade Geek" you are ever likely to meet.  His style of mixing economics, history and humor is always a welcome change for his clients and students. We promise a fast-paced, entertaining course that will not only keep you informed, but have you looking forward to our next session.
