The Greater Houston Partnership invites you to our next Business Beyond Borders Go Beyond program on Tuesday, August 22 focusing on Latin America. 

Mexico has remained Houston's top trading partner for 19 of the past 20 years, and Brazil has become the city's third largest international trading partner. Meanwhile, after trade with Venezuela declined from $21.1 billion in 2012 to $4.8 billion in 2017, the country has dropped from being Houston's 2nd largest trading partner to the 12th - the lowest level in 10 years. Join us at this event to learn how all of this has affected Houston, and what to expect going forward. 

At this Go Beyond event we will feature an expert panel to discuss:

• Market trends and overall business climate in Latin America 
• The impact of elections and the political environment in Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia
• Immigration
• Tariffs, sanctions  and trade agreements 

Speakers:

• George Y. Gonzalez, Partner, Haynes and Boone 
• John Cuttino, President, Portal Commerce & Logistics, LLC 
• Ricardo Colménter, Director, Entra Consulting and University of Houston Law Professor
• Tony Payan, Françoise and Edward Djerejian Fellow for Mexico Studies, Director, Center for the United States and Mexico, Baker Institute
