RESTART RESPONSIBLY 


As the St. Louis region transitions into an initial phase of reopening and gradual lessening of restrictions, the STLMade creative team encourages us to "Restart Responsibly" and to remind our community that we must all continue to practice social distancing and good hygiene as some businesses begin to reopen. 

Keep social distancing, wear a mask in public, wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds & stay home when possible. Do your part to keep our community safe.  #STLMade4Good #STLMade

Both the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County have established webpages dedicated to providing the public with the latest information and resources re COVID-19 in the St. Louis region.   



In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are launching the next iteration of our monthly speaker series, Re-Engage in Trade, open to all. 

With world trade expected to fall between 13% and 32% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting unprecedented disruption to the global economy, what can we expect in international trade circles as we navigate the road to recovery.

Join us for a timely discussion with our regional international trade partners at both the MO Dept. of Economic Development and SBA (Small Business Administration). Hear perspective from WTC Board Members in one of the hardest hit industries and learn about some of the global regulatory hurdles coming into focus with reopening and the impact of COVID-19 on commercial contract performance.

Date and Time: Friday, May 29 | 12 - 1pm
