PUBLISHER'S NOTE
Americas Conference to focus on challenges ahead
By DAVID LANDSBERG
Today's Business Monday section initiates our coverage of The Miami Herald's Thirteenth Annual Americas Conference. Once again
this year, leading business, government and academic leaders will come together on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 29 and 30, to discuss key issues and trends affecting political and economic relationships between Latin America, the United States and the Caribbean.
The timing of this year's event comes as both governments and businesses across the Americas struggle to navigate beyond the global financial crisis. The conference will highlight the road that lies ahead, including national elections in Uruguay, Honduras, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil and Haiti, and important policy and development issues in all corners. With an agenda titled ``After the Crisis: Emerging Challenges and Political Stability,'' participants can count on a lively forum and thoughtful exchanges on the most critical topics of the day.
Leading our roster of distinguished guests this year are Dr. Oscar Arias, president of Costa Rica; Hubert Alexander Ingraham, prime minister of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas; former President Bill Clinton, UN Special Envoy for Haiti; José Antonio García Belaúnde, Peru's minister of foreign affairs; José Miguel Insulza, secretary general of the Organization of American States; Josefina Vázquez Mota, majority leader of Mexico's Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), and Mauricio Macri, mayor of Buenos Aires.
For more than a decade, the Americas Conference has been the region's preeminent gathering of its kind, and we at The Miami Herald Media Company are proud to present this important platform for hemispheric dialogue.
Look for complete coverage of the conference proceedings in The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, and online at MiamiHerald.com and ElNuevoHerald.com.
