The Murray State University Paducah Regional Campus will host the “Thriving in a Global Economy,” conference on Nov. 1 from 8 am to 1 pm, and registration is now open at murraystate.edu/cibtconference.

At the conference, specific to the Center for International Business and Trade (CIBT), participants will hear from experts in the trade industry who will share ideas and practices for how businesses can increase market share and revenue by expanding nationally and globally. 

Rick Calhoun, past president of Cargo Carriers, will deliver the keynote address. Cargo Carriers’ parent company, Cargill Inc., is reported as a $113.4 billion international trade company. Also, Erran Persley with the Kentucky Cabinet of Economic Development will expand on valuable trends and resources from the state level. Regional executives in the riverway and barge industry will also shed light on the riverways and how the region is well-positioned for international business and trade. 

Attendees are encouraged to network through an interactive power panel discussion including regional and state executives from Paschall Truck Lines, Paducah Riverport and other area businesses. A breakfast bar and lunch will be provided through the Murray State University Town & Gown Partnership.

The CIBT is a partnership among businesses, government and academics to leverage the region’s tangible and intangible resources to help the region thrive. Murray State University and the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business seek to provide this resource for the region to capitalize on the geographic access to markets and the region’s Foreign Trade Zone. As a result, sustainable economic development is achieved through increased jobs and international trade.
