In 2008 AMCIS ventured to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to further extend its mission in North America outside of the U.S.

With the 2010 AMCIS already planned for [[Lima, Peru]], association (AIS) will extend its "Americanization" to all major geographical regions of the Western Hemisphere, except Central America. Finally, the addition of a Portuguese-language track in 2008 will continue in 2009 to San Francisco, and potentially explode in size at the 2010 Lima Conference.
