The purpose of this summit is to discuss ways to advance sister city programs between the US and Mexico into the future. It is a great opportunity to showcase grassroots citizen diplomacy in US – Mexico partnerships, revitalize diplomatic relationships, and launch new and innovative programs between communities in each country related to arts and culture; business and trade; youth and education; and humanitarian assistance.

The conference theme of Independence & Interdependence focuses on celebrating the historical ties between US and Mexican civic society, business, cultural and education institutions.
