Team effort afoot for this Wednesday's #ConsularConversations interview/luncheon with Consulate General of Ireland, Atlanta's Frank Groome. Working with our presenting sponsor Miller & Martin PLLC and supporting sponsor GSU-CIBER, we're bringing the consul general together with two "new" entrants on the Ireland-Atlanta scene (Enterprise Ireland and Irish American Chamber - Southeast -- you'll see the reason for the quotes if you come) to discuss how the consulate is laying a diplomatic foundation for deepening trade/investment ties.

Need to make sense of this week's sweeping #tariff announcements?

Managing Editor Trevor Williams was pleased to join Nicholas "Nick" F. Masino and Kristi Brigman of the Metro Atlanta Chamber for a wide-ranging conversation on international investment and trade in #Georgia, with a particular focus on how to tap local relationships for global growth.

With #trade turbulence becoming the new normal, why start #exporting your products and services now, with a trade war kicking into gear and the threat of retaliatory tariffs on the horizon in key markets? A couple good reasons: Exporting firms, studies show, pay better, hire more and are better shielded against global shocks, and US products and services still enjoy considerable brand cachet in the rest of the world, where 95 percent of consumers live. Join SelectCobb and Global Atlanta tomorrow evening for a reception and panel discussion where tales of export success from local pioneers from Arylessence, AccuSentry and others will help you take the first (or next) step toward crafting and implementing your international strategy. https://lnkd.in/exeb5HhU
