The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations (COMEXI) are jointly hosting a conference centred on one of the most impactful trade discussions of the year: how can NAFTA be modernized, and what impact will the renegotiated pact have on the North American and global economy?

The afternoon event will start with a lunch-time keynote, followed by two sessions. The first is devoted to situating the current NAFTA modernization process in each country in the larger context of its history and economic policies. The second session spans four negotiation topics: dispute resolution, rules of origin, labour and environment, and forward looking digital/innovation matters. The conference will close with a cocktail reception.

Photographs will be taken at the event and used by CIGI for promotional material.
