"We are honored to partner with the Dallas Regional Chamber and University of North Texas to bring this important event to the business community," said Jeff Clark, executive director of TechAmerica Texas. "Technology companies are increasingly operating in overseas markets, and, through advancements in technology, are developing their products and services with teams operating internationally. Latin America offers a tremendous market for these products, and Mexico, as our closest neighbor, has become an important partner in their design, development and manufacturing. This event highlights the opportunities that exist for our two countries to work together, to grow our economies and to compete globally."

The event will gather business leaders, policymakers, government officials and technology advocates to gain access to valuable information on Mexico's advancing technology economy and methods to leverage our binational strengths in order to compete together in the global economy. The dialogue will showcase existing opportunities and best practices for how to take advantage of the benefits of international product development.

The exclusive two-day event will feature an introductory keynote dinner on Wednesday evening and a knowledge-packed day on Thursday that will review how to:

• Leverage alliances to create a cross-border, cross-cultural and technically skilled workforce
• Partner for success by creating cutting-edge products and services binationally
• Better understand NAFTA, legal compliance issues and intellectual property laws affecting your venture
• Build a competitive framework that will guide your company to binational success
