Premier attends 2011 NAFTA Conference
On June 16, The International Business Accelerator (IBA) hosted the “2011 NAFTA Institute/Supplier Meet the Buyer Conference,” in Sunland Park, New Mexico.
Known as the largest international trade conference/business-to-business session on the U.S.-Mexico border, more than 700 people and 300 companies participated in the conference.
The event combined activities of the NAFTA Institute and the “Supplier Meet the Buyer” B2B sessions.
The B2B sessions provided an environment for companies to search for new business opportunities, by matching potential buyers/sellers with participants in private business-to-business sessions.
During the conference sessions, topical experts discussed the various aspects of conducting cross-border business, including: Union Pacific’s $400 million Santa Teresa project, trade and border security, the future of the maquiladora industry, and international trade resources.
Premier was matched with maquiladoras from a wide range of markets for a full day of B2B sessions, with additional contacts made outside of the B2B schedule.
