  I like the fact that Rockford and the regional community is going after business and marketing ourselves to the world. Sweden should be a natural as well as China, Korea, and Japan. It also sounds like the trade show in Chicago garnered some good contacts with Canada and the Czech Republic.

  On this marketing trips, are we also alert to opportunities for distribution, tourism, air cargo and air passenger service, etc as well as manufacturing ?

  I wish everyone great success on this trip.

  Yes, as you can see from their web site below, the County Chairman, the Convention bureau, the Econ Development, Mayor, etc. are on this trip, so they will be alert to any of the areas that you ask about.

  Thanks Bob:

  I was not aware of who was on the trip. Looks like a good group.
