Atlanta based USA India Business Summit (UIBS) has a distinguished history of being largest conference in the South-East USA that promotes business relations between USA and India. "Our goal is to encourage investment, partnerships and business between the United States and India, and accelerate growth in key areas of science and technology, energy, supply chain, logistics and infrastructure," said Ani Agnihotri, program chairman for the conference.
