Show management will also work closely with in‐ country DOC commercial service officers and exhibitors' re‐ gional representatives to pinpoint specific needs and actions to ensure optimum use of IBP services. "Everyone benefits when we create more opportunities to help exhibitors and attendees find the right business partners. We value the continued support of the U.S. Commerce Depart‐ ment and we urge exhibitors to take full advantage of the IBP program and what the shows offer to help increase their global business," stated Tanel. E International Buyer Program ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 has again earned International Buyer Program (IBP) status from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The IBP helps qualified international buyers, representatives and distributors more easily attend the show and connect with export‐minded exhibitors looking to boost sales and es‐ tablish global connections. ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 is among a small group of U.S.‐based exhibitions chosen after passing a rigorous selection process; the IBP recognizes shows that are top‐notch events serving in‐ dustries with excellent export potential.

The IBP also provides exhibitors with practical, hands‐on as‐ sistance such as export counseling, market analysis and matchmaking services.

The guide will be available at the shows and distributed to U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) international posts. An on‐ site International Trade Center (ITC), staffed by experienced DOC trade specialists and show management staff, will oper‐ ate during the run of the shows with multilingual interpreters fluent in several world languages, a message center, phone/fax/e‐mail access and private meeting rooms. Export Opportunities ConExpo‐Con/Agg 2014 has won recognition as the most global of all shows in North America, with international atten‐ dance of 24 percent in 2011, from more than 150 countries.
