June 11-12, 2007, Atlanta. Americas Competitiveness Forum

Immediately following the November 2005 Summit of the Americas held in Mar del Plata, Argentina, President Bush recommended that the first high-level meeting be convened to focus on improving the region's competitiveness.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez will host the inaugural Americas Competitiveness Forum on June 11-12, 2007, in Atlanta.

The Americas Competitiveness Forum will provide a venue for government ministers from the Western Hemisphere to come together with leaders from the private sector, academia, and non-governmental organizations, to explore cutting edge ideas and best practices in several key areas of competitiveness.
