What is the ratio of local to international in the reach and marketing of the showcase you are preparing?

For this 3rd edition of the GlobalPhilly™ showcase, the ratio is still strongly tilted to Philadelphia, Delaware Valley, and the tri-state region but we have a group of International relations stakeholders who are working on International outreach (networkings and media).

The content of our events is international and our intention is to collaborate closely with both Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau and Visit Philadelphia as they market Philadelphia to the world; however, the focus of GlobalPhilly™2017 is to make a memorable contribution to the global experience in Philadelphia, for residents, large event planners and visitors alike!
