"The U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement represents a tremendous business opportunity for all kind of companies in Texas," said Cliff Paredes, director of the International Trade Center. "Attendees will receive real-world trade information from American and Colombian trade experts that will help them identify potential new markets for their products in Colombia."
Attendees will include Cameron Werker, senior commercial officer in the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia; international business consultants from UTSA; Sean Mulvaney and Patrick Crilley from the Export-Import Bank of the United States; and other trade officials.

In 2011, the center provided technical advice and online or classroom training for more than 1,600 people.
