As a respected member of the Arkansas exporting community, ARDEC invites you to partner with us by sponsoring this event. Recognition by the state and your community as well as other exporters is a key benefit of sponsorship. Other benefits include logo branding during the event, recognition on ARDEC website, and tickets to the event, as well as media coverage. Three different levels of sponsorship are available: Platinum, Gold and Silver. Please contact Ken Gaines with any questions.
Mid-America Trade Summit
Each fall, the MU International Trade Center, along with trade assistance partners from across the region, hosts the Mid-America Trade Summit.
The Summit provides a unique opportunity to bring together top exporters, global trade leaders and trade assistance providers from across Mid-America. Outstanding exporters from across Mid-America are invited to share their export stories — highlighting “best practices” and lessons learned that have contributed to their export success.
The Summit’s fast-paced, high-touch format provides exporters, trade assistance providers and educators with direct access to high-level networking and shared-learning opportunities designed to guide export expansion. This is a premier regional event for companies focused on advancing trade and driving business growth.
Based upon feedback from event participants supporting overall convenience and cost reduction, the 2022 Mid-America Trade Summit will proceed virtually.
