What is it?
The PEN Halloween Trade Day takes place from October 31st, 2024. The theme of the trading event is Halloween and apart from your Practice Enterprise regular product portfolio, you can also focus on special thematic offers.
The goal of the Trade Day is to boost the volume of international trade between Practice Enterprises. You will be able to test your sales pitch and negotiation skills and the processes of commercial order processing. On top of that, you get to experience different languages, cultures and business etiquettes. Last but not least, you will get to make new connections and find new Practice Enterprises to continue your exchanges with.
