Thriving Together:

Advancing U.S.-Mexico Partnerships for Shared Prosperity

The MAPA Summit 2026 isn’t just a convening – it’s a bold declaration that U.S.-Mexico collaboration is not only possible, but essential. Building on the success of the 2025 summit, which brought together lawmakers, advocates, philanthropy, organizers, and business leaders from both countries, this year's event aims to deepen our commitment to binational cooperation. We will explore pressing issues that impact both nations. Key discussions will focus on migration, the USMCA, electoral opportunities & challenges, strategies for economic growth, education, and workforce development, as well as enhancing cultural exchange through the arts. Join us as we take bold steps towards a more interconnected future.

Please note that the MAPA Summit is by invitation only.

The Mexican-American Policy Alliance (MAPA) works to strengthen the political, cultural, and economic connections between Mexico and the U.S. In a time of divisive rhetoric and increasing anti-immigrant feelings, MAPA pushes for shared success and closer ties. By partnering with important leaders in Mexico's government and U.S. areas with large Latino populations, MAPA encourages cooperation and creates solutions to common challenges. Its programs aim to enhance cross-border collaboration and unite diverse communities to explore shared opportunities.
This year’s Summit promises to be another important step forward for MAPA’s mission.

The Future of Binational Policy Starts Here.

The MAPA Summit is the leading binational policy convening uniting U.S. Latino and Mexican policymakers, organizers, journalists, and business leaders. In 2025, MAPA set a new precedent — forging lasting cross-border collaborations and elevating a shared agenda for migration, equity, and economic opportunity.

Now, we’re doing it bigger.

MAPA Summit 2026 is your opportunity to be part of a movement that’s rewriting what binational partnership looks like — and delivering results.

Summit 2025 Highlights

Summit 2025 PRESS

“We are here with a purpose, we are policy makers, we’re decision makers, elected leaders, activists, business leaders, industry leaders all here with a shared purpose. And that purpose is that we find ways to better integrate what is happening between our two counties.”

David Alvarez,
California State Assemblymember
“It is more imperative than ever to make sure that we are at all levels of government working together, not in silos, to make sure our people not only are protected, but that they see themselves in us. That they see voices that are speaking out and speaking up for them not only for now but for future generations… It is so important that we make sure that relationships in government also cross borders, not just from state to state but from our country, the US to Mexico.”

Omar Aquino,
Illinois State Senator
“We no longer can depend on necessarily federal diplomacy to move us forward, us, especially electeds, at state and local levels must be carrying the torch now for international diplomacy… it is now up to us to ensure that we are being the diplomatic leaders that we need to ensure that our gente [people] continue to move forward.”

Lorena Austin,
Arizona State Representative
