What is it?
The PEN Worldwide Monthly Trade Day is a recurring trading event with the goal of offering a recurring forum for international trade and increasing commerce between Practice Enterprises. It will take place once each month during 2023 – each month on a different day – to allow Practice Enterprises operating on different days to participate. Your Enterprise may participate at any number of the monthly events. (Each day’s events are all-day events – register based on your time zone availabilities and choose the correct time slots. For more information, check out the FAQs.)
All Practice Enterprises from the Worldwide Network are open and encouraged to participate. There is no specific theme or focus for the monthly events, your Enterprise is free to choose how you market your products and your focus for purchasing. More information on the dates and steps to participate can be found below.
