The 2011 IAOP Latin American Outsourcing Summit

The 2011 IAOP Latin American Outsourcing Summit was a first-of-its-kind global event that brought the thought-leadership and global network of the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) together with leaders from across the Latin American business community.  The result was an exceptional opportunity for individuals and organizations involved in outsourcing as customers, providers, and advisors to both understand and leverage the explosion of outsourcing taking place across the region.
