OWIT 2008 CONFERENCE
MONTERREY, MEXICO
October 22-24, 2008

OWIT DFW is proud to announce the upcoming 17th Annual OWIT World Conference. The Monterrey Chapter will host the conference in Monterrey, Mexico from October 22-24, 2008. The conference will bring together delegates from OWIT’s growing global chapter network and members of the international trade community. The theme this year is Trade and the Triple Bottom Line: Societal, Economic, and Environmental Sustainability.

This conference provides OWIT members worldwide with the opportunity to meet and develop valuable contacts as well as to learn and grow professionally.

Historically, business has focused only on the financial bottom line; however, over the last twenty years, global awareness of the need to assess the full spectrum of corporate value has grown dramatically. “Total returns’ on capital—economic, social, or environmental—are now being tracked with increasing regularity.

Visit www.owit.org for more details and registration information. I hope to see you there!
