The Border Governors Conference (BGC) is the largest binational venue to discuss and resolve some of the most important border issues affecting the United States and Mexico.
The ten Border States represent the world's most important and dynamic binational region - with a joint economy that ranks third in the world.
These nations share the busiest international border in the world spanning nearly 2,000 miles, with roughly 250 million people crossing annually, and almost 90 million people calling the states of this region home.
The XXVII Border Governors Conference will be held in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon from September 2-4, 2009, and will be hosted by Governor Jose Natividad Gonzalez Paras.
