Annual Conference and Good Neighbor Award Gala 2023

The Army and Navy Club / The Decatur House

About this event

In an ever-changing political landscape, the North American trade partners—the United States, Mexico, and Canada—are redefining the terms of their economic and political cooperation. Today, issues such as security and immigration have taken center stage in trade discussions, while protectionist policies are resurging across the globe.

As we approach the sixth anniversary of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), we are entering a pivotal moment. Chapter 34 of the Agreement mandates a comprehensive review, and while there is optimism about a successful extension, negotiations are expected to be complex and challenging.

There is much at stake in this process—for businesses, governments, and citizens across North America. The Chamber is ready to participate in shaping the renewed USMCA, and we invite you to be part of the conversation.

Join policymakers, industry leaders, trade experts, and stakeholders for a timely and crucial discussion on the future of North American trade and cooperation.

Don’t miss your opportunity to engage in this high-level dialogue! Save the date to be with us on Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 for the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce Annual Board of Directors Meeting, Conference and traditional Good Neighbor Awards Gala.

Our event will take place as a full-day gathering beginning conference sessions followed by our Annual Binational Board of Directors Meeting  at The Army and Navy Club. The program will conclude in the evening with our traditional Good Neighbor Awards Gala at the Decatur House in the heart of Washington, D.C.

Since its establishment in 1985, the Chamber has conferred this distinguished honor upon individuals and organizations from both the public and private sectors in the United States and Mexico, whose visionary leadership has significantly contributed to strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations.

We have limited rooms at the Mayflower Hotel, Autograph Collection (1127 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20036). Reservations are assigned on a first come-first-served basis; please register early to secure lodging.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, please contact us at events@usmcoc.org or call (469) 567-0923. Registration will open soon! Please come back for agenda updates and additional information.
