Export Forum Events
The Export Forum Committee meets on a regular basis to monitor and consider how best the Chamber can assist the export community.
Networking and sharing of experiences and contacts is a very useful tool to all businesses and this is more so for those involved in export.
The Forum has hosted incoming and out going trade delegations and is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to organise occasions for Southland exporter’s to get-together. The Southland Exporter of the Year Dinner would without doubt be the most popular event but all Forum events are interesting and valuable to exporters.
