PMA Mexico Business Roundtables

August 8-9 | Hotel Renaissance, San Diego, California

The Mexico Business Roundtables provide another way for buyers to connect with suppliers from Mexico.

This unique opportunity will allow 1-2 representatives from a buying company to meet face-to-face with 1-2 representatives from a supplier company.

All meetings are 12 minutes long and carefully arranged to provide the best value for your time. These would be introduction meetings that may open the door for more in-depth conversations later. Do not lose the opportunity to open new doors for doing business. Attendance is limited in order to maintain an intimate dialogue among participants.

Don’t miss the opportunity to gain new business. These intimate one-on-one meetings are filling fast and space is limited. Register today!
