Center, in Manaus, capital of the Amazon State, Brazil. This event is

Foreign Trade.

…Under the theme: The Amazon and You. The Meeting is Here, we invite
you to be part of this thriving window into the economic potential of
the Brazilian Amazon, where you can find great business perspectives.”

Manaus city is surely the best gateway to enter in the Amazon. It does
not matter if it is to access and visit the rain forest or to do
business. At any given time that is the place. Last year we advised
readers to get ready for the biggest show at the Amazon most important
industrial hub, Manaus.

I have been invited to be there and report about the show and the

the show for this premium opportunity. And, If you would like to
suggest themes or simply ask questions about the Amazon, Manaus and

way or another.
