About the Conference

For decades, manufacturers have been growing their capital investments outside the U.S.. Now, a confluence of macro factors is causing many firms to invest in the U.S. once again. Rising labor costs in Asia, threats to the security of intellectual property, abundant U.S. shale oil and gas, and optimistic forecasts for U.S. GDP growth are compelling manufacturers all over the world to rebalance their production portfolios and increase capital investment in North America.

The Institute for International Research, the world’s largest business-to-business conference organizer, is producing “Reinvesting in American Manufacturing,” a two-day, executive-level event, December 4-5, 2013 in Houston, TX.
