Latin American Crossroads Series: Beyond the Border: Mexico on Its Own Terms

Thanks to President Donald Trump, Mexico is back in the national dialogue like no time in the past two decades, but his newfound focus on our neighbor to the south has once again failed to get past the context of competition.

What if we went beyond the border, past the wrangling over NAFTA, the Wall and the War on Drugs, and took a closer look at Mexico’s deep history, storied culture and growing market? Would we find room to work together on a more equitable and respectful basis? Would Georgia-based companies uncover overlooked opportunities right under their noses?

Global Atlanta will explore these questions and more in Beyond Borders: Mexico on Its Terms, the second event in the Latin American Crossroads series exploring Atlanta as a hub for the hemisphere.

Proposed topics include:

• Update on NAFTA negotiations from Javier Diaz de Leon, consul general of Mexico in Atlanta
• Deepening partnership: Delta’s joint venture with Aeromexico
• Coca-Cola’s exploration into the creative heart of Mexico City through The BRIDGE
• Global Atlanta’s reporting on collaboration and competition in aerospace and automotive
• WISE Foods — how being bought by a Mexican company has expanded its capabilities

Speakers and event location will be confirmed and announced shortly. Those who register will be notified.
