U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke today announced open registration for the Fourth Americas Competitiveness Forum (ACF) in Atlanta, Georgia on November 14-16, 2010.
The ACF is the preeminent economic and commercial event in the hemisphere that brings together private sector and government leaders to share best practices for enhancing the competitiveness, innovation, and prosperity of the region. The event will mark the return of the ACF to the United States after being hosted in Santiago, Chile in 2009, and will be the third ACF convened in the city of Atlanta.
Secretary Locke is expected to be joined at the ACF by ministers of trade and economy from throughout the region as well as senior representatives from business, academia, and civil society. In addition to a dynamic agenda with thought-leaders representing the private sector, academia, and governments, the ACF will also include export counseling sessions, market opportunity sessions where business can learn about new trade and investment opportunities, business to government meetings, and business to business matchmaking sessions.
Registration is open to any member of the public. For additional information or to register for the ACF, please visit www.competitivenessforum.com
