The Business Down Under Forum will highlight and focus on the business opportunities that exist between Australia, New Zealand and Broward County in South Florida. The Forum will provide key information about new Australian and New Zealand products and services entering the market while offering networking connections between Australian, New Zealand and Floridian companies.

  • Key Note Luncheon: A close up and personal presentation by the Down Under Business Forum's key note speaker...

The Business Down Under Forum also offers a great opportunity to combine business with pleasure, so bring your family for a great weekend and enjoy the 2007 Australian Festival (and the beach!!!). 

Business Down Under will be held on Thursday November 1, 2007 with the Gum Trees Gala being held that evening and then the Australian Festival will run all weekend. The Business Forum and Gum Trees Gala will be held in the beautiful Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.. 

Business Down Under Forum Agenda will include the following sessions:

Breakfast of Champions: 

Breakfast of Champions will focus on Australia's tremendous sporting history and our most popular sports including Australian Cricket & Australian Football.. Australia is one of the world's most sporting nations and a light breakfast will be served as our attendees learn about the exciting international sports opportunities that exist between Australia and Broward County.

Official Welcome Ceremony:

The Business Down Under Forum is delighted to bring together three great countries with a focus and purpose of connecting business opportunity. The Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the United States that was established in 2005 creates greater global market opportunity for our countries that share such similar cultures and values. There has never been a better time to explore the possibilities as we come together for this exciting event. 

Introducing The Land Down Under:

Doing business with companies from the land down under is full of opportunities. But being successful within the global market requires an in-depth knowledge of various landscapes. What are the economic, environmental and cultural climates down under? Additionally what countries and gateways does Australia provide a direct and friendly avenue to. This session empowers our attendees with a good starting knowledge of the current climate of doing business with the Land Down Under.

Trade from the Land Down Under:

Description: Australian companies produce world class products and services. Many of these great products have not yet entered the United States Markets. As Australian products strengthen their global brands the opportunity and need for placement, marketing and distribution in South Florida provides many new opportunities. This session provides our attendees with the organizations, their people and the networks that are constantly bringing Australian opportunities to the Broward County market place. 

Business Down Under Luncheon - Key Note Speaker:

While enjoying a great luncheon in the beautiful Floridian Ballroom you will have the opportunity to enjoy an intimate and up-close presentation by our keynote speaker. Our luncheon is always a highlight of the forum with excellent networking and social opportunities. And our key note speaker will leave a lasting impression about the friendships that our great countries share.

Doing Business Down Under:

Floridian products and services are exported to Australia every single day. These numbers continue to grow annually as our global economy develops as well as our relationships. Doing Business Down Under will provide key information on how Australia can become a future market location or a gateway location to Asian Markets. This session provides our attendees with the organizations, their people and the networks that can help you penetrate and operate in the Australian market place.

Key Service Providers:

In the last five years Australia has made tremendous strides in identifying established key service providers in the United States that specialize in Australian-American related services. Getting to know these organizations will help both your short and long term business strategies. This session provides our attendees with an introduction to a selection of service providers demonstrating their expertise as well as a comprehensive list of Australian-American services providers, what they do, and how you can contact them.
