Nelson Mandela peacefully ended South Africa’s apartheid-driven violence and the world called it a miracle. As an international symbol of that miracle, Mandela ordered that the notorious Robben Island Prison, where he spent 17 years, be transformed from the icon of apartheid to the multiracial emblem of peace.

Nearshore Nexus, the only North America investor conference focused on Latin America IT and BPO services, will feature an exclusive discussion with Mr. ?lvaro Uribe, President of the Republic of Colombia from 2002 to 2010, led by CNNs Senior Latin American Affairs Editor and Emmy-award winning journalist, Rafael Romo. The conference takes place on Thursday April 19, 2012.

Nearshore Nexus will feature over 25 speakers, including top CIOs, sourcing advisors and delegates from more than 15 countries in the region to examine the growing role Latin America is playing in delivering technology support services to organizations across the Americas.

Bringing stability to Colombia has not just been ?lvaro Uribe’s life’s workit is his personal mission. After his father was killed at the hands of FARC, one of Latin America’s most notorious left-wing Marxist guerrilla organizations, Uribe rose through the ranks of government and took drastic measures to secure Colombia against violent militias, radical political factions and rampant drug trafficking.

In doing so and in building a strong military to confront the threat of a society dominated by powerful drug lords, Uribe transformed Colombia into an economic and political force that is now a magnet for international investment and a leader in Latin America. Through his bold economic policies, Uribe unleashed growth, lowered inflation and improved the lives of many in his country by pushing for improvements in wages and social services. Uribe shares his experiences leading Colombia during a period of transformation and provides a unique view of economic and foreign policy in Latin America. His work to build international alliances also gives him a unique understanding of how current events in Latin America fit into the overall global political and economic future.

The only Colombian President in over a century to be elected to a second consecutive term, Uribe is the recipient of the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts to bring peace, prosperity and democracy to all corners of the globe.

Were very proud to be able to host a statesman like Former President Uribe whose efforts to transform Colombia have been deeply important for the region. In addition, our ability to attract delegates and sponsors from over 15 countries in Latin America testifies to the strength of our growing brands and the appeal of nearshore BPO, said Kirk Laughlin, CEO and Founder of Nearshore Americas, the company staging the conference.

This pin features the political philosophy of an English assassin. On his way to collect an assassin’s bounty in Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, English Bob extolled the virtues of royalty. Why, you’d be so awed by the majesty of a king or queen that you would never be able to bring yourself to kill them. But a lowly egalitarian democratically elected president was something else. “I mean, why NOT shoot a ‘president’?”
