I. Abstract

The International Trade

Administration’s International Buyer

Program (IBP) encourages international

buyers to attend selected domestic trade

shows in high export potential

industries and to facilitate contact

between U.S. exhibitors and foreign

visitors. The program has been

successful having substantially

increased the number of foreign visitors

attending these selected shows as

compared to the attendance when not

supported by the program. The number

of shows selected to the program

increased form 10 in 1986 to 28 in 2001.

Among the criteria used to select these

shows are: export potential,

international interest, scope of show,

stature of show, exhibitor interest,

overseas marketing, logistics, and

cooperation of show organizers.

II. Method of Collection

Form ITA–4014P, Exhibitor Data, is

used to determine which U.S. firms are

interested in meeting with international

business visitors and the overseas

business interest of the exhibitors. The

exhibitor data form is completed by U.S.

exhibitors participating in an IBP

domestic trade show and is used to list

the firm and its products in and Export

Interest Directory which is distributed

worldwide for use by Foreign
