Binational Educational Symposium
To better understand the challenges and new realities of international commerce and supply chain systems, South Texas College has partnered with La Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas (U.A.T.), and INDEX Reynosa to present the Binational Educational Symposium. This event is open to the public, free of charge, and will be held in virtual form (via Microsoft Teams) on November 8th and 9th.
Specific topics covered during the Binational Educational Symposium include innovations in supply chain implementation and management, as well as public and private sector innovations in artificial intelligence. Workshops will also be offered in topics relevant to the skills and knowledge required in the fields of international commerce and supply chain operations.
This year’s event will also give 4 of our South Texas College students a chance to compete in the BES Challenge. This challenge is an interschool competition where students from each of our participating institutions compete for educational technology and other prizes using the skills and knowledge acquired during this two-day event.
