US-Ukrainian Business Networking Series |
Ukraine's Quest for Mature Nation Statehood RT IV: Ukraine's Transition to a Developed Market Economy saw the introduction of a new ingredient to the proceedings - a series of business to business networking sessions that ran parallel to the traditional symposium.
The participants were so taken by the idea that the organizers were advised to turn the B2B gatherings into a unified stand alone event. The advice was taken and, in the immediate term, resulted in a highly successful US-UA Business Networking Forum (held March 2005 in New York City using four venues: the Ukrainian Institute of America/NYU/Columbia University and the Union League Club).
In the longer term, the episode saw the launching of a specialized US-Ukrainian business/investment conference series:
