Sean Goforth, director of research at Nearshore Americas, will speak at an upcoming business and technology conference in Tijuana about how Mexico’s outsourcing industry will evolve over the next five years.

The one-day event, hosted by CANIETI and scheduled for March 8 in the the largest city in the Mexican state of Baja California, will bring together international outsourcing service buyers, industry leaders, and trade experts. At the conference, Goforth will enrich the conference agenda with a presentation titled, “Nearshore Leadership Amid Shifting Realities.” He is expected to detail how Mexico’s BPO/ITO sectors will evolve from 2016 to 2020.

“Mexico is positioned to deliver the full gamut of business services for years to come,” said Goforth. “This differentiates it from many other markets that are nearing saturation or experiencing workforce challenges that are complicating delivery.”

Goforth argues that Mexico’s position in the global BPO/ITO space will be enhanced by its enduring strengths, including sound macroeconomic fundamentals and a high number of tech graduates, coupled with rising degrees of innovation and strong links to the U.S. tech industry.

Among other publications, Goforth recently finished a series of reports on IT wages in Latin America for Nearshore Americas. That report found that wages for front-end developers vary by 5.4% across Mexico City, Monterrey, Costa Rica, and Guadalajara. Additionally, his research showed that vacancies for junior-level front-end developer positions can be consistently filled within four weeks across several markets. This isn’t the case for UX/UI designers, however, as those positions can only be filled in four weeks or less in Mexico City due to the larger talent pool in the capital.

Goforth is also the author of Cuba’s Readiness for ICT Transformation, a 67-page report from Nearshore Americas that analyzes Cuba’s telecommunications infrastructure and the strengths of the island’s IT workforce. He is also a respected thought leader known for data-driven insights on Latin American markets and nearshore industry trends.

Goforth will highlight such findings and up-to-the-minute realities going on in the Mexican IT market at the event in Tijuana. The conference, titled “Encuentro de Negocios de Tecnologias de la Informacion,” will also generate synergies among all foreign participants involved. Attendees will take advantage of the insights and networking opportunities offered to consolidate a position in the Mexican market, leading to important alliances and creating jobs.

Over the course of the conference, attendees will be able to enjoy various panel discussions on the latest trends, developments, and opportunities in IT services and BPO delivery from Mexico. Participants will also be able to benefit from diverse networking opportunities.
