Boost Your Bottom Line at the NAHB's 2nd International Housing Conference of the AmericasAs the Mexican housing market matures, and the purchasing power of the average Mexican grows, there has been an unprecedented explosion in the demand for new homes throughout the country. In 2004 alone, housing growth in Mexico is projected to total more then 719,000 units. President Vicente Fox’s commitment to build 11.7 million much needed new homes within the next 10 years has helped to spur this growth. Niche markets such as Mexican retirement communities for U.S. Seniors, second homes in Mexico for Mexican families working in the United States, and Mexican style concrete homes in the U.S. Southwest are further fueling the industry in both countries. Not sure how to enter this burgeoning market? Have some reservations about doing business internationally? Then join us and take your first steps by participating at NAHB’s 2nd International Housing Conference of the Americas at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico City Nov. 7-10. Held in partnership with CANADEVI (The Industry Chamber for the Promotion and Development of Housing, Mexico's equivalent to NAHB) this conference offers informative seminars, property tours, table-top exhibits, and numerous networking opportunities, including pre-arranged one-on-one meetings with Mexico’s top construction firms and building professionals. Simultaneous English/Spanish translation is available for all sessions and meetings. And, if boosting your company's bottom line isn't enough incentive, the first 200 registrants to NAHB's 2nd International Housing Conference of the Americas will receive a complimentary full registration to the 2005 International Builders Show in Orlando, FL, Jan. 13-16. "The 2nd International Housing Conference of the Americas is the premier event for Mexican and U.S. companies interested in developing relationships and expanding their business, to meet, learn and explore future opportunities in home building” said Héctor Aguirre, president of CANADEVI. Be sure to register for the conference today at www.nahb.org/conferencia. Contact Matt Monjan at 800-368-5242 x8419 for additional information.
