Investors: Why should you attend?

If you are thinking about opening or expanding operations in the United States, then the SelectUSA Summit will help you find the answers you need more efficiently, saving you time and money.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about how, where and why to invest in the United States. You'll also learn about resources and incentives directly from federal, state, and local officials.

The United States, with well over 300 million people spread the width of a continent and beyond, is incredibly diverse. Our consumer market, our workers, our technology and our resources are vast and varied. This diversity means that there are opportunities for nearly every company - from start-ups to medium-sized enterprises to multinationals. The SelectUSA Investment Summit aims to provide unprecedented access to these opportunities - all under one roof.

Through our robust online matchmaking program and on the trade show floor, you'll be able to connect with other businesses, economic developers and government officials who can provide you with the tools and information you need to make a smart investment in the United States.

Economic development organizations: Why should you attend?

Where else can you meet 1,300 investors who are looking for a location for their business operations? You'll have the opportunity to show off the advantages that your location has to offer on the trade show floor. You'll also learn about the latest trends and issues, as well as resources to help you more effectively reach investors. You'll also be able to connect with other economic developers, service providers and government officials who can share tools and information to help you attract more jobs locally.

What happened at the 2013 SelectUSA Investment Summit?

President Barack Obama and five U.S. Cabinet Members made it clear that the United States is not only "Open for Business," but warmly welcomes foreign investors to operate in our transparent, stable and open system. The first SelectUSA Investment Summit in 2013 was a tremendous success, attracting people from 60 countries. Sign up early for this one – the last Summit was oversubscribed, and late registrants were waitlisted. We're making the 2015 Summit even bigger and better, doubling the size to give 2,500 attendees enhanced opportunities for matchmaking, learning, and networking.
