One of the major events that the AmCham has been organizing since 1992 is US Trade Show in Bangladesh. Through this Trade Show US companies have the opportunity to come in direct contact with the Bangladeshi consumers. This gives the Bangladeshi consumers, business people a unique chance to become familiar with the top class and competitively available American products and services.

The event is now a fixture in the Bangladesh business world and draws very enthusiastic crowd. The Trade show has become an annual event and the premier Trade Show in Bangladesh. It is jointly organized by AmCham and US Embassy in Bangladesh. We believe that the US Trade Show is a very important event for those concerned with an expanded economic relationship between Bangladesh and the United States. In one hand the Trade Show helps to improve the American trade & investment in this part of the world and on the other hand it facilitates the Bangladeshi entrepreneurs to get acquainted with modern American management and technology terms of the production of goods and services.
