After two months efforts working closely with all the members of the Washington delegation, the PTCG team has finalized all the marketing materials for our Washington State exhibitors to attend the first China International Import Expo (CIIE).  We have put together a delegation brochure, and a 12x3 meters wall poster, two pop-up stands designs. We collected company logos, introduction, product information and contact information for each of the exhibitors and visitors, standardized and edited all the materials, and sometimes helped to translate into Chinese.  All materials are in printing and production in China now. We look forward to seeing this at the Washington State booth in CIIE in November!
