Penn State is looking forward to engaging with the business community to share their expertise and offerings in order to maximize our region’s international growth.
Terrence Guay, director of the Center for Global Business Studies at Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, is very excited about this first-ever conference.
“I think this will be a great opportunity for Central Pennsylvania companies who are engaged in exporting or international business more broadly to learn from their successful peer companies. I am confident that presentations by my faculty colleagues on current business trends related to supply chain and sustainability will offer helpful insights to the executives who attend. I see this half-day conference as a valuable setting for local companies to network with each other and key faculty and staff at the Smeal College of Business,” said Guay.
