 In addition, during the show, LAGCOE committee members and the US Commercial Service will provide international delegates with personal assistants, to help them locate the equipment they are seeking or to meet select U.S. companies.  “We feel the personal aspect of the show is important to foreign visitors and we think it will definitely enhance their experience and hopefully their purchases," stated Jim Dore, LAGCOE International Committee Chairman and Senior V.P. of Global Industries, a large multinational company headquartered in Houston.
