The Trendlines Group — June 2006 Trendletter
Vol. 8   No. 6 June 2006
This month is a special MarketReach America issue of the Trendletter! We are gearing up for our fourth MarketReach America program -- Life Sciences & Medical Devices 2006 -- in Baltimore, Maryland, on June 19-21, 2006.

Along with dozens of business, legal, financial, and government experts, Trendlines' Chairmen D. Todd Dollinger and Steve Rhodes, Managing Director Tina Ornstein, and President of Trendlines America Mark Dollinger, will be joining Executive Director of the Maryland/Israel Development Center Barry Bogage in Baltimore to participate in this unique business development program and VC conference.


From the Top: Lessons from MarketReach America
"Sometimes years of experience can be brought to bear in the most extraordinary of ways. Such is the case with the Maryland/Israel Development Center-Trendlines Group partnership called MarketReach America. Trendlines and the MIDC have worked together for more than a decade fomenting Israeli/American partnerships through identifying, qualifying, and introducing Israeli companies to strategic partners and financial investors. MarketReach America Life Sciences & Medical Devices 2006 is our fourth MarketReach program; it's now officially a success-filled tradition."

D. Todd Dollinger, Chairman

"One of the highlights of each MarketReach America program is the "Wow!" moment experienced by the participating Israeli company. This may occur in response to a session about understanding the way that Americans communicate during negotiations and or during a small-group discussion of supply chain or regulatory issues. Whenever it occurs, the Wow! moment almost invariably happens. It's a pleasure to observe. And it's what sets the MarketReach America program apart from other standard business development seminars."
Mark Dollinger, President, Trendlines America

"One of the program's unique benefits is the involvement of the influential Baltimore Jewish community. Under the auspices of the Maryland/Israel Development Center, members of the community are eager to assist in finding ways to guide Israeli companies. The Jewish community includes all types of entrepreneurs who share their experiences of getting businesses up and running in the U.S.; business owners and employees of large corporations who can give guidance about strategic partnering; and academics in Maryland's prestigious universities, medical schools, and research institutions, who provide cooperation in a variety of ways."
Naomi Alper, Chief Consulting Officer
