National Q1 2026 corporate event: fiscal kickoff, AMVO convention, ANTAD pre-launch and IMMEX planning that put the entire commercial team on the same page during the first quarter of the year

The first corporate quarter in Mexico concentrates four moments that define the rest of the fiscal year: the annual sales kickoff that opens the first week of January, the regional conventions of the Mexican Online Sales Association (AMVO) held between February and March, the ANTAD Expo pre-launch programmed for late February to align floor with retailers before the April trade show, and the IMMEX planning that export-manufacturing plants close in March before the review with the Ministry of Economy. We produce kits for all four events, the staff uniforms, the kickoff stationery, and the quarterly closing awards gifts in a single production run so commercial direction, brand direction and operations direction work with the same graphic manual, the same finishes and the same consolidated invoicing under CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with 16% VAT, deductible as Public Relations expense or as Training expense depending on the corporate fiscal case.

Four layers of the national Q1 2026 corporate event

Annual kickoff with fiscal-start merchandising

The annual sales kickoff lands in the first week of January and gathers the national commercial force in a single venue: welcome kit with hand-sewn notebook with the fiscal year cover and the corporate logo in hot stamping, roller pen with isotype engraving, outdoor-style backpack with padded laptop compartment for 15-inch devices, stainless steel thermos engraved with the employee name and the Kickoff 2026 legend, prepaid gift card in Mexican pesos equivalent to the kickoff award amount, and a welcome pack with premium water bottle and Mexican protein bar. The kickoff is documented with professional photography for the annual report, streamed to regional sites that could not attend, and edited into a 72-hour video thumbnail for Internal Communications.

AMVO convention with staff uniform and brand merchandising

The annual convention of the Mexican Online Sales Association gathers in February the e-commerce, digital marketing and logistics areas of corporates with D2C operation in Mexico: embroidered polo-style t-shirt with the corporate isotype for booth staff, safari-style vest with interior pockets for laptop and tablet for the executives serving the floor, cap with adjustable closure and embroidered year, lanyard with badge holder and integrated battery charge, and courtesy gifts for key booth visitors (matte finish ceramic mug, organic cotton tote bag with two-tone silkscreen, branded sticker set). For stands with special activations we also produce POP material: backlit lightbox, roll-up banner with base, acrylic display and digital lead counter with LCD screen.

ANTAD pre-launch with retailer kit and sales force

The ANTAD Expo pre-launch is programmed in late February to align the commercial team with retailers before the April trade show: portfolio-style folder with magnetic closure and interior tablet pocket, letterhead sheets with the corporate logo and fiscal year, adhesive note block with the isotype, wooden USB with the corporate digital catalog, and presentation gifts for each account manager of the retailer (wooden box with selection of Chiapas coffee, Oaxaca chocolate and mezcal, personalized card from the commercial director). The material is delivered 7 to 10 days in advance of the pre-launch and each retailer confirmation is collected so commercial direction closes the floor before the convention.

IMMEX planning with technical stationery and operations gifts

The IMMEX planning of export-manufacturing plants closes in March before the review with the Ministry of Economy: plant manager kit with financial calculator engraved with the logo, plan block with technical grid and corporate cover, encrypted 64 GB USB with the IMMEX documentation of the year, technical steel pen with refill mechanism, and award gifts for the compliance team (engraved thermos, tactical backpack, pocket tool set). For plants with IMMEX programs on the northern border (Tijuana, Juárez, Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros) we deliver directly to the plant with schedule coordinated with the Industrial Safety area and invoicing in MXN at the Banco de México FIX exchange rate of the day for the foreign trade report.

Curating Q1 merchandise by employee tier and event type

Curating merchandise by tier is built with commercial direction, brand direction and operations direction. For the commercial team attending the kickoff we handle merchandise from MXN 850 to MXN 2,400 per employee: backpack, thermos, sewn notebook, roller pen and welcome pack. For floor staff at the AMVO convention we handle uniform and merchandise from MXN 1,200 to MXN 3,200 per person: embroidered polo shirt, safari vest, cap, lanyard and courtesy gifts. For the ANTAD pre-launch retailers we handle presentation kit from MXN 2,500 to MXN 5,500 per retailer: portfolio folder, letterhead, adhesive note block, USB with catalog and gourmet box.

For plant managers and the IMMEX team we handle technical kit from MXN 3,500 to MXN 8,500 per person: financial calculator, plan block, encrypted USB, technical pen and operations gifts. For commercial direction and VIP guests attending the kickoff we handle premium gifts from MXN 6,500 to MXN 18,000: contemporary Mexican art piece, engraved Montblanc pen, aged wine or whisky, gastronomic experience at premium restaurant (Pujol, Quintonil, Rosetta, Contramar, Sud 777, Maximo Bistrot). For the kickoff streaming production staff we handle producer kit from MXN 1,800 to MXN 4,200: monitoring headphones, desk lamp, gourmet snack, engraved thermos.

For corporates with operations in the United States and Canada under USMCA rules we deliver directly to each site with local invoicing in USD and CAD as applicable, and consolidated reporting in MXN at the Banco de México FIX exchange rate of the day for the corporate fiscal report in Mexico. For corporates with IMMEX plants on the northern border we deliver directly to the plant with schedule coordinated with the Industrial Safety area and support for gift deduction as Public Relations expense or as Training expense depending on the fiscal case. Invoicing is issued under CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with 16% VAT breakdown, ISR withholding when applicable, and foreign trade complement when the delivery crosses the border.

Q1 logistics, venues, calendars and data handling

Q1 logistics are coordinated with commercial direction, operations direction and the venue maître. For the national kickoff we handle venues such as Centro Citibanamex, WTC Ciudad de México, Hotel Hilton Reforma, Hotel Marriott Polanco, Torre Virreyes, Torre Reforma. For the AMVO convention we handle the exhibition floor of Centro Citibanamex with stand setup, electrical installation, connectivity, dedicated internet and coffee service for booth visitors. For the ANTAD pre-launch we handle executive boardrooms in Polanco, Santa Fe, Lomas de Chapultepec and Zona Rosa with premium catering and coffee break service for invited retailers.

For IMMEX planning of plants on the northern border we deliver directly to the plant with schedule coordinated with the Industrial Safety area and review of accesses, restricted materials and plant entry protocol. The Q1 calendars close with commercial direction and operations direction on key dates: first week of January for the kickoff, second week of February for the AMVO convention, fourth week of February for the ANTAD pre-launch, and third week of March for the IMMEX review with the Ministry of Economy. Merchandise delivery is scheduled 7 to 14 days in advance of the event so commercial direction has time to review, count and personalize pieces before setup.

Guest data handling complies with LFPDPPP: the guest data is used only for the invitation, event registration, merchandise delivery and post-event report, is not shared with third parties outside the corporate, is deleted from our systems 365 days after the event, and the guest may request early deletion through the privacy notice published on the corporate site. Invoicing is issued under CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with 16% VAT breakdown, ISR withholding when applicable, foreign trade complement when delivery crosses the border, and support for deduction as Public Relations expense or as Training expense depending on the corporate fiscal case.
