    • Nearshoring’s Next Phase: With Mexico’s foreign direct investment surpassing $40 billion in 2024, nearshoring is no longer just a trend—it’s reshaping supply chains. What’s next for manufacturers, shippers, and logistics providers?
    • Strengthening Your Cross-Border Network: The surge in trade volume is testing infrastructure and capacity. Are your partners equipped to navigate customs complexities, security risks, and regulatory shifts?
    • Learning from Industry Peers: Gain firsthand insights from logistics leaders who are tackling the same challenges, from carrier capacity constraints to port congestion and workforce shortages.
    • Scenario Planning for 2025 & Beyond: As new trade routes, regulatory policies, and infrastructure projects come online, how can you future-proof your supply chain? 
    • CCP 3.0 Compliance & Regulatory Updates: Stay ahead of the latest compliance requirements as Mexico rolls out new trade regulations and customs modernization efforts.
