New York, NY, May 12, 2011—Debert Cook, CMP and publisher of the African American Golfer’s Digest, the nations leading print magazine and online portal for avid black golfers and a PGA of America Diverse Supplier, is one of the many distinguished guest speakers slated to address constituents during the 2011 International Networking Golf Event. Presented by USA based Grammont Worldwide, LLC and Brazilian based Kerygma Eventos the 2011 International Networking Golf Event is being held in Buzios, Brazil, October 6-11 at Breezes Resort.
The conference is very timely, as the 2016 Olympics approaches and for the first time golf is being included as one of the competitive sports. “The world will be watching the 2016 Olympics and see for the first time the tremendous skill that it takes to play this game,” says Ms. Cook who has published the national quarterly for the last eight years from its New York City headquarters.
Opportunities for business development, partnerships and expansion is the aim of the conference and attendees will gather for day-long seminar sessions along with privately scheduled individual meetings with owners and C-suite executives of firms large and small, based across the world. “Brazil is viewed as one of the most up-and-coming economies in the world where new ventures in telecommunications, oil, transportation, construction and other areas are undergoing strong growth. Now is the perfect time for businesses of all sizes to get involved to capitalize on opportunities. This program offers an excellent means for collecting information and building relationships,” says Cook whose U.S.-based publication has successfully withstood the recession, depression and financial fall-out taking place in her home country of America.
“The 2011 International Networking Golf Event is intended to offer opportunity to promote and stimulate business between Brazil the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America by bringing together those industry leaders, investors and golfers. Brazil is an ideal location as the country is an emerging leader in new business and will soon host the World Cup 2014 and Summer Olympics 2016,” states Thaylor J. Grammont, Jr., President & CEO, of U.S.-based Grammont Worldwide LLC.
Brazil the ninth largest economy in the world—expected to reach fifth place in the next decade—and the largest of Latin America, is today one of the best markets for foreign investment and an increasingly important operator in the international geopolitical stage. The idea behind selecting Brazil as the base for the 2011 International Networking Golf Event is the growing economy and the forthcoming investment opportunities for Brazilians and outside investors. Currently, according to the World Bank and IMF reports, Brazil is one of the most dynamic, developing, and growing markets in the world.
