We've been asked by Chinwag's Sam Michel to spread the word on the
Digital Mission to the US:
We're working on a really exciting project with the UK Trade &
Investment agency (part of the UK government), taking UK digital
companies on two trade missions to the US, which we've dubbed Digital
Mission: http://digital-mission.org
There's two Digital Missions planned:
- Digital Mission to Web 2.0 Expo in NYC, 14-20th Sept, 2008
- Digital Mission to SXSW interactive, 13-17 Mar, 2009
They'll provide a bunch of great stuff for the companies going
including, pre-arranged meetings with potential partners, practical
sessions on how to expand into the US market and lots of social stuff,
too.
The closing date for applications to the Digital Mission to NYC is
tomorrow (Wed, 23rd July). Criteria and application details are available here:

I like the idea of the SXSW one, it would be a great "business justifiable" reason to go.
