Overview

Join Council of the Americas on Tuesday, May 5, for its annual conference in Mexico. 

Mexico is advancing a focused growth agenda for 2026 and beyond, with Plan Mexico guiding the country's efforts to attract investment and strengthen regional development. At the same time, the upcoming USMCA review is reshaping the conditions for trade, investment, and North American cooperation. COA's 2026 Mexico Conference will convene senior leaders from the private sector and government to assess the investment landscape, discuss solutions to the challenges ahead, and advance the public-private collaboration that will be essential to Mexico's growth agenda, at home and across North America. 

Registration for this year's conference is now open. We look forward to seeing you in Mexico City.
