Hello,

Good morning and glad you received my email and interested in participating in the forthcoming summit. Our organization is the Global Society of Small Business Owners. We are a membership-based, public, not-for-profit association of American businesses leaders and organizations engaged in, or in support of international trade. Our mission is to facilitate international trade in the US and other countries and to promote and market the US as an excellent center for global commerce; and, to support other organizations that share these goals.

This mission is accomplished through the retention, expansion and attraction of international commerce, the education of association members, and through the development of Strategic Alliances with entities who value regional cooperation in the pursuit of this mission.

In this regard, we are currently inviting business professionals from various walks of life to attend the 2023 Symposium on Small Business Growth and Development (SSBGD 2023), which will be held in Los Angeles, California, USA from 23rd - 26th January 2023. This will be an avenue to meet investors here in the United States looking forward to meeting partners in foreign countries for investment purposes.

Registration is free. Delegates are welcome to participate individually or in groups. The maximum to participate as a group is five (5) persons. Please note that registered delegates round trip air tickets will be sponsored by our benevolent donors and sponsors. Additionally, visa assistance will also be rendered to foreign delegates who require a visa to come to the United States for the program, courtesy of the conference organizing committee and sponsors. However, delegates will be responsible for their hotel booking for the duration of the program and their travel insurance. An official letter of invitation will be sent to delegates by the secretary upon registration.

I have submitted your information to the secretary and I will ensure you are accepted to participate in the program and receive more details about the summit, including information on registration and more.
