Registration Opens for Nearshoring America Expo

The countdown is on for the first-of-its-kind sourcing show in Dallas, including a full schedule of seminars. Here’s how to sign up for free.

The Nearshoring America Expo, set for Dec. 9-11 at the Dallas Market Center, will not only include dozens of Latin American companies exhibiting and looking to source for U.S. importers and retailers but also a full schedule of educational events for companies looking to learn more about nearshoring. Admission to the Expo and seminar schedule is free for wholesale importers, product designers and product category buyers.

The program will be held on the afternoon of Tuesday, Dec. 10 at the Market Center and will focus on three areas of prime concern for those wanting to begin or expand their nearshoring efforts. “The program centers around three key themes: Launch, Optimize and Sustain,” said Michael Mendoza, who is helping to organize the event for the DMC. “The event will feature sessions illustrating how importers and manufacturers are aligning strategic and tactical decisions to shape supply chains throughout the Americas.

“The Launch track,” he said, “delves into the foundational steps and strategies for starting a nearshore manufacturing operation. Sessions will cover selecting optimal locations, understanding regional regulations, forging local partnerships, and establishing efficient supply chains.”

The second track focuses on enhancing and refining nearshore manufacturing processes, he said. Topics will include the implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies, boosting efficiency and productivity, cost reduction strategies and leveraging data and analytics for informed decision-making.

“The Sustain track addresses the long-term viability and growth of nearshore manufacturing,” he said. “Discussions will explore sustainable practices, environmental impacts, workforce development, and adaptation to market changes and disruptions.”

Additionally, Nearshoring America will offer pre-scheduled one-on-one appointments with participants. This exposition will feature qualified manufacturers from Mexico and Brazil, showcasing a diverse range of products, including furniture, decorative accessories, fashion accessories, jewelry, lighting and gifts.
