The event will take place at the San Carlos Plaza Hotel in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico from October 20 - 22, 2011.

In addition to visiting Mexico manufacturing facilities, executive attendees will have to opportunity to meet and listen to expert speakers in the disciplines of Mexico production, customs and logistics and human resources.
