At the U.S. Department of Commerce’s export Web site (http://

www.export.gov), find the Trade Events category and click on it.

Using the menus and search tool, find trade missions and trade events in biotechnology or hotel/restaurant equipment that are scheduled over the next 12 months. Select one trade event and note its location and date. Indicate the price for registration and any special requirements. How would you decide whether this is a worthwhile event for a company?
