Yet the e-commerce has continued to grow rapidly and has stretched thin the logistic infrastructure and services businesses and consumers have always been relying on.

Join DHL Express and many other businessed from the Midwest region for a conversation about what these challenges and opportunities are. Our goal is to help you increase your top line and bottom line. When it comes to trade and investments, the Chamber is your trusted partner.
