Louisiana

from the Hemisphere. The guest speakers at the breakfast will be
three heads of state from Latin America.
Following the breakfast meeting, there will be a 75-minute workshop

the state's growing role in regional trade, transportation, investment,
and tourism.
Members of the Louisiana delegation also will be invited to display
their company literature at a Louisiana business booth at the conference.
