MEXICO BUSINESS EVENTS
Mexico Business Events organizes high-level conferences where business and political leaders meet to discuss the key topics that are defining Mexico’s economic future. By connecting each industry’s key stakeholders, our events are accelerating the exchange of vital industry information, crucial to capitalize on Mexico’s economic potential, and creating new business opportunities in an unparalleled networking environment. Our conferences are organized in cooperation with the leading publications in each sector: Mexico Oil & Gas Review, Mexico Energy Review, Mexico Automotive Review, Mexico Mining Review, Mexico Health Review, Mexico Infrastructure & Urban Sustainability Review, Mexico Business Review and Mexico Aviation & Aerospace Review. By leveraging the industry expertise, reputation and networks of these publications, Mexico Business Events presents key speakers discussing the leading topics and trends in front of an audience of the top industry stakeholders.
“Besides highquality networking opportunities, the contributions from prestigious panelists and speakers allow attendees to broaden their vision to make better decisions”
Luis Vega, President of Sustentabilidad para México (SUMe)
“The organization was very executive, the program balanced and well thought out and the speakers with solid backgrounds in all areas”
Armando Ortega, Vice President Latin America of New Gold
MEASURING IMPACT
SURVEYS
Mexico Business Events measures the impact of its conferences primarily through surveys of event participants. These allow us to gain insights that help us deliver even greater value with each event.
For example, of 462 participants surveyed during 2017's events, 45.3 percent responded “Very Satisfied” and 48.7 percent said they were “Satisfied,” representing 94 percent of respondents. This shows an overwhelming rate of satisfaction among participants and is consistent across all our annual events.
DIGITAL TRAFFIC
Furthermore, Mexico Business Events maintains a digital presence online to monitor a conference’s reach after the event concludes. These figures illustrate the traffic generated online as a result of our digital outreach.

A key added value of the summits and forums organized by Mexico Business Events is in the networking opportunities presented to each participant during coffee breaks, lunch and the closing networking cocktail. These provide attendees the perfect opening to discuss strategies and opportunities with their peers and potential clients. “
