On January 13, the World Trade Center Utah hosted a seminar to teach Utah internationalists the 9 Essential Steps of Successful Internatinonal Networking. The packed event is evidence of Utah’s booming international presence. Fifty international businesspeople (from 16 different countries) learned how to avoid international blunders and how to succeed in international business. Adding to the buzz, there are indications Utah’s final trade statistics for 2009 will nearly match the record setting levels set in 2008–higher than projections indicated in November.
