In September 2025, American Industries convened business leaders, policymakers, and international investors in Chicago for a high-level seminar focused on one critical question:
How will North America — and especially Mexico — shape the next era of global manufacturing under the USMCA?
The conversations that took place that day were too valuable to be limited to the room. That is why we are excited to announce that the expert sessions from our Chicago Seminar are now available on demand through our dedicated landing page:
https://www.americanindustriesgroup.com/chicago-seminar-sessions/
These sessions bring together strategic, legal, and operational perspectives on the forces reshaping manufacturing and supply chains across the United States, Mexico, and Canada — from geopolitics and trade policy to cost structures, site selection, and execution risk.
Now Available: “The USMCA: Moving Forward”
The first session now live features Kenneth Smith, Mexico’s former Chief Negotiator of the USMCA, offering a rare inside look into:
- How the agreement is evolving in practice
- What investors should expect as trade dynamics shift
- Why Mexico remains a strategic manufacturing anchor for North America
This session provides critical context for CEOs, COOs, and strategy leaders evaluating cross-border operations, risk exposure, and long-term growth within the USMCA framework.
More Expert Sessions Coming Soon
In the coming days, we will also release two additional sessions from:
- Marian Garibay – Shelter Administrative Services
- Iván Ramos – American Industries Cost Model
Together, these three sessions offer a 360° view of what it really takes to expand, relocate, or scale manufacturing operations across North America with confidence.
Why we are making these sessions public
At American Industries, we work daily with companies that are asking:
- Is now the right time to move or expand in Mexico?
- How do we reduce risk while accelerating speed to market?
- How do trade, compliance, and infrastructure impact real ROI?
These recordings are designed to help leaders move beyond headlines and into data-driven, expert-backed decision making.
Whether you are in early-stage strategy or already planning execution, these sessions provide clarity on how to compete and grow within the USMCA region.
