DATE: 01 Apr 2025 - 05 Apr 2025
Venue: New York, USA
Our forthcoming Glasgow Chamber visit to New York in April for business and trade activities will take place as part of Tartan Week.
We are currently liaising with a number of key partners in Scotland and in New York and will be finalising the full programme in the next two weeks. Glasgow Chamber will be taking a business delegation alongside the Scottish Chambers visit this year. There are likely to be a number of sector meetings relating to tech, finance, and maritime as well as networking events with other US Chambers of Commerce and their members and senior business representatives, global Scots and alumni from our universities. And, as a participant, you will be invited to take part in the Tartan Day Parade itself as part of the official Scottish delegation on Saturday 5 April.
In terms of logistics, Glasgow Chamber will be staying in midtown to be near most of the Tartan Week events. We aim to be in New York for Tuesday 1 April until Saturday 5 April but again there will be flexibility built into the programme. There will also be the opportunity to bolt on two days in Washington DC for additional meetings with the US Chamber of Commerce.
We expect there to be a high level of demand for this trade trip and spaces are limited, so your place will be guaranteed on a first come first served basis and on receipt of a non-refundable booking fee of £500.
Also, we’ll be having an in person pre visit briefing with the business representative of the Tartan Week Organising Committee Lolita Jackson at Glasgow Chamber of Commerce between 4.00 pm - 6.00 pm on Wednesday 11 March. All of the Chamber delegation will be invited to attend this session with Lolita to run through the programme and meet each other before the trip, and to maximise facilitated networking and business development opportunities.
