Globalization Comes Home, with keynote speaker Vicente Fox, former President of Mexico
May 28-30, 2008
The Phoenician Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona

As China hits a wall with product quality issues, rising energy costs, and external concern about supply chain risks, many companies are looking closer to home for manufacturing, service, and logistics partners. In Europe this often means the former Eastern Bloc countries, while U.S. companies are frequently seeking near-shore arrangements in Latin America and Canada.

With critical economic questions ranging from oil resources and maquiladora operations to cross-border labor migrations and continental logistics, no country has a more complex relationship with the United States than Mexico. Join AMR Research and former President of Mexico Vicente Fox in Scottsdale, Arizona as our agenda tackles these issues, with an eye to forming an agile and responsive supply chain strategy based on globalization close to home.

In addition to the main conference, AMR Research is hosting the Value Chain and Logistics Exchange, which pairs supply chain executives with the heads of the leading logistics service providers so that they can together identify the barriers to more effective relationships, find ways to break through these for win-win successes, and discover the opportunities to create joint value in the supply chain of tomorrow.
