MGTA Tour & Networking Event
International Resources: Minnesota’s Global Connections
June 5, 2008
2:45–7:30pm
You won’t want to miss this whirlwind tour of Saint Paul facilities with resources available for international traders—not to mention the opportunity to talk with experts who can help you locate the specific information you need!
The day will be divided into two parts. Part 1 includes two resource library tours, and part 2 includes networking and a tour of the Minnesota History Center. You may join us for the entire day, or elect to attend just the History Center tour, scavenger hunt, and networking.
