Zacatecas Q1 2026 corporate event: the kickoff that opens the year in Mexico's silver capital

January, February and March are the quarter when mining corporates, Zacatecas-Fresnillo corridor manufacturers, industrial-park developers, rail-crossing logistics operators and agricultural groups from the Jerez area start the operational year after the December close. We produce the kickoff bundle — staff uniform, attendee gift, room material, follow-up kit — with delivery to Zacatecas ready five to seven working days before the event, CFDI 4.0 invoicing with 16% IVA to the SAT and Carta Porte 3.0 when the shipment leaves our workshop in CDMX or Tijuana.

Why Zacatecas is Q1 kickoff seat for northern industry

Zacatecas lives the year's start with the particularity of its mining industry —silver, gold, zinc, lead— and its industrial-supply chain serving Bajío and northern corporates. The Q1 kickoff in Zacatecas does not compete with the CDMX one: it has its own logic because a significant part of the staff of mines, processing plants, heavy-maintenance shops and regional offices arrives from outside and gathers in the state capital for one week to review the annual plan. The hotel supply in the city of Zacatecas —boutiques in the historic centre, corporate hotels near the industrial zone— and air connectivity from CDMX and Monterrey make the state an efficient point to start the year.

The typical Zacatecas Q1 kickoff bundle covers three to five days based at a corporate hotel in the capital or an industrial complex with event hall in Fresnillo, between one hundred and two hundred fifty attendees — predominantly operational, technical and administrative staff from mines and suppliers. We work with groups invoicing under general regime and with foreign-capital groups —Canadian, Australian and US mining companies active in the state— receiving the charge in USD with payment complement at the Bank of Mexico exchange rate of the day. For manufacturers under IMMEX regime we handle the temporary-export pedimento with the corporate's customs broker.

Cost and operation of Zacatecas Q1 kickoff

The standard bundle per attendee starts at MXN 985 before IVA on 100-180 attendee runs. For 180-250 attendee runs it drops to MXN 865. General MOQ is 80 attendees; kickoffs with fewer than 80 attendees are quoted with an additional fixed charge for the complexity of per-attendee kitting.

We invoice CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA itemised to the SAT in national currency. For mining corporates with foreign capital —Peñasquito, Fresnillo plc, MAG Silver, Capstone Gold— we issue the invoice in MXN at the Bank of Mexico exchange rate of the day and deliver the payment complement with the USD or CAD trail. For kickoffs crossing the border with material in temporary export we handle the pedimento with the corporate's customs broker.

Lead time is 20 to 30 working days from artwork approval to produce the full Zacatecas Q1 bundle. For kickoffs with shorter lead time we offer express production at additional cost. Delivery runs five to seven working days before the event so the corporate can kit by attendee and distribute at the host hotel.
