Why did the AATSP choose Guadalajara as the 2010 Annual Conference location?
The year 2010 is the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution and the 200th anniversary of Mexican Independence and Guadalajara played a key role in both of these important events. There are conference events and excursions that highlight Guadalajara’s rich history and cultural heritage. 2. Is there drug-related violence in Guadalajara? I’ve heard stories on the news about drug violence in Mexico. The recent drug-related violence has been centered on the U.S.-Mexico border, which is over 700 miles north of Guadalajara. Mexico is a large country!
