The Dallas Market Center is launching a new international expo and support initiative to promote nearshoring production services for the gift, home furnishings, and fashion accessories industries. December 9-11, 2024, the expo will take place at Dallas Market Center, to connect brands, vetted factories, and supply chain providers from Mexico & Latin America.

Showcased factories, shelter companies, and supply chain providers will be invitation-only, pre-selected, and chosen for their proven track record to support industry importers. Participants will be from Mexico and other Latin American countries, including Brazil and Colombia. The show floor will feature a uniform presentation of each participant showcasing their supply chain capabilities, ready to engage with attendees regarding terms, product development, and production.

Attendees will include brands, product designers, design & production consultants, and wholesale importers offering a prime opportunity to explore the advantages of nearshore production in the Americas. The EXPO will be supported by a series of seminars focused on nearshoring in Mexico and Latin America. A Nearshoring America INDEX will be created that includes an exclusive and vetted directory of factories and supply chain service providers, organized by country. A Nearshoring newsletter will be created that includes background, research, commentary, and timely topics for the business of nearshoring.
