WORKING ABROAD: PROS, CONS, & WAYS FORWARD at AIA MIAMI

Foreign markets like Qatar, Brazil, and India present lucrative opportunities for U.S. companies offering products and services that help meet rapidly expanding infrastructure, commercial, and housing needs.
The U.S. architecture profession is well-positioned to supply the kinds of design services and project management skills needed to successfully tackle major initiatives. Booming economies and a growing middle class across the globe have prompted developers to bring in foreign architects to design many projects, including airports, multi-family residential and commercial buildings, and resorts.
This half-day workshop will assist firms and AIA members by connecting them with colleagues who have done work internationally, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Export-Import Bank, Enterprise Florida, and other resources.
Attendees will learn about the business opportunities available in international markets using the Gulf states, Brazil, and India as case studies. In addition, the session will review resources provided by the Federal government and how to use them. Attendees will also hear about challenges that can occur in foreign markets, how business practices differ from those in the United States, how to comply with foreign laws, and trade mission opportunities.
