A Strategic Conversation Across 3 Key U.S. Trade Hubs for Exporters

This national and global session connects three major metros—Los Angeles, Phoenix, and New York City—alongside leadership from chairs (2) and members (6) of those three District Export Councils, creating a powerful platform for collaboration and insight. Together, these experts will explore the current state of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and what businesses should anticipate in the coming months.

As global trade dynamics shift, understanding USMCA is more important than ever. This session is not just about updates—it’s about preparation, strategy, and influence. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on potential outcomes and how to position their organizations for success.
