Eighteen local companies drawn from various sectors are expected to be represented at the October 9th – 10th Florida International Trade Conference and Expo (FITCE) in Florida. Making the announcement last evening at a reception hosted by The Guyanese American Chamber of Commerce (GACC) for participants in the event and other guests, President of the Chamber Wesley Kirton said that the Chamber was pleased that it has been able, once again, to facilitate, free of cost, the participation of small and medium-sized businesses from Guyana in the Expo.
And while, according to Kirton, the Trade Conference will see a limited registered Guyanese presence, arrangements are being made to facilitate the display of “products from Guyana made by companies which are unable to participate.” According to Kirton, the Guyanese-American Chamber will also be seeking to arrange meetings between the Guyanese businesses and others from the United States and the various countries participating in the event.
