Now in its seventh year, Nexus is the preeminent gathering of executives seeking to share insights on core Nearshore business practices, opportunities and challenges.

Organizers are requesting applicants to align their topic suggestions around these themes:

The deadline for submitting suggestions is March 15, 2017. Readers should provide specific insights on the speakers they propose, besides explaining their relevance to the topics on the menu of discussion at the event.

Nearshore Nexus has a history of featuring some noteworthy speakers. Last year, Laura Chinchilla, former President of Costa Rica, presented the keynote speech, narrating how her Central American country came to become a thriving nearshore marketplace.
