One of our 5+ year old signature events is Grow Globally Fair, and this year for the first time we went virtual. We survived and in many ways got as much or more out of the event. That was fun!
We look forward, though to the time when we can this LIVE again!
In the meantime anyone in the world can check out the business update we did for metro Phoenix, Arizona HERE.
We were pleased to hold a joint Global Chamber® Phoenix and Global Chamber® Tucson advisory board meeting just before the main show. Thanks to everyone who attended the advisory board meetings AND the Grow Globally Fair PHX.
The Global Chamber® "Grow Globally Fair' is a unique, annual trade fair for exporters, importers and investors doing international business.
It's all the global resources of a given metro region, all together, one time per year. This event was Grow Globally Fair PHX for metro Phoenix.

**To our global tribe... Welcome! Connect! Learn! Grow!
The Global Chamber® Grow Globally Fair gives leaders doing global business an opportunity to see what's new, who's new and how they can better grow in this crazy international business world.
Attendees historically walk amongst expo tables and speak with others doing global business... to find trusted resources, ideas and services. THIS YEAR we redesigned it and we think it was fun, engaging, educational and amazing! Because the global tribe is amazing!
We also celebrate the global tribe battling in markets all over the world with a series of awards honoring their success in foreign markets and here at home.
