Exhibitors at the inaugural Nearshoring America EXPO include an invitation-only showcase of factories and supply chain providers that have been pre-selected based on their history, operating experience and delivery. In addition, supporting enterprises including sourcing agents, trading companies, shelter companies, and design and production consultants will be represented. The exhibiting companies will be thoroughly vetted to ensure they are legitimately capable of supporting industry importer partners.

The show floor will feature a uniform presentation of each participant showcasing their production and/or supply chain services capabilities and each exhibitor will be prepared to immediately engage with attendees regarding terms and conditions of product development and production.

Attendees at the EXPO will include importers of gift, home furnishings, and apparel accessories seeking OEM product sources, project manufacturing services, and full-scale product development partnerships. Registration is now open for attendees on the Nearshoring America website.

In addition to showcasing vetted exhibitors, the Nearshoring America EXPO will be supported by a series of seminars and symposia focused on nearshoring in Mexico and Latin America. In support of the expo, a Nearshoring America INDEX has been created that includes an exclusive and vetted list of more than 300 manufacturers, sourcing agents and supply chain service providers organized by country. Finally, a Nearshoring newsletter is currently being distributed that includes background, research, commentary, and timely topics for the business of nearshoring.
