When Juan Manuel Santos takes over as Colombia’s president in August, the Harvard-educated economist will continue many of the same pro-business, pro-U.S. policies of President Alvaro Uribe that helped transform their South America country into a magnet for foreign investment.

WorldCity considers resumption of printing magazine
WorldCity is considering printing its monthly magazine again, first looking for companies interested in placing full page ads in all six issues in 2010, based on interest expressed by previous advertisers and potential new ones.
WorldCity, which began printing a newspaper for South Florida’s multinational business community in 1998, and later converted to a magazine format, decided to focus in 2009 on its three new events series, digital content and its annual TradeNumbers publications, given the economic climate.
“We would love to resume printing,” said President Ken Roberts. “We probably need commitments from another two to three companies. With all our events, with all that is always happening in South Florida, we have great content we could share with the multinational community in print format.”
WorldCity would continue to host its six events series in South Florida as well as produce digital content through this e-newsletter and its website and print annual TradeNumbers publications. With two of the event series, the CEO Club and Trade Connections, WorldCity intends to add events in 2010.
Companies interested in advertising rate information should contact President Ken Roberts at 305-441-2244 or kroberts@worldcityweb.com.
