Export Excelerator Conference
Export Excelerator Conference
Export Excelerator is back <Virtually>!
At this unprecedented and uncertain time, we want to ensure we do our best to help New Zealand businesses and exporters make it through.
We have arranged a great line up of New Zealand business experts to discuss the current working environment with the aim to share insights, guidance and strategies to tackle COVID-19 head-on.
Eleven businesses will share powerful global strategies for building and maintaining strong internal and external customer relationships virtually. During uncertain times they will cover how they are managing health and well-being, finance and cash flow, business continuity planning and building resilience both domestically and internationally in their business.
Where possible, we want to provide you with access to good advice so that you can position your response accordingly to survive the COVID-19 pandemic, and succeed and prosper in the future.
Join us on April 3rd, and create a strategy to start moving forward.
We look forward to you taking part in our online conference.
