Excited to share a few highlights from the 2024 LatAm Tech Forum (LTF) hosted in Miami last month. This year’s edition brought together an outstanding group of Founders and C-level executives from some of the largest and leading private and public technology companies from Latin America to share knowledge, build trust, and develop enduring relationships.
LTF was founded over a decade ago and is organized by Riverwood Capital with the support of leading institutions.
🔹400+ total participants
🔹230+ CEOs and founders (alongside Latin America heads of global technology companies, global luminaries, and a sub-set of investors and technology advisors)
🔹~70% of attendees were executives from Latin American tech companies
🔹 Interactive executive session on “AI Adoption and Current Use Cases” (facilitated by BCG), and functional private working sessions across different management and business building topics
🔹 Fireside chats with outside guests including Admiral James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander, NATO; Michel Temer, former President of Brazil; Cybersecurity Leaders from Bank of America and Mastercard; and others.
🔹 Pre-LTF Series events including by JP Morgan and Endeavor; BBVA Spark; and a Women in Tech Breakfast co-hosted by Itau BBA and Mattos Filho; among others.
🔹 NYSE Floor Talk recording studio
We are amazed by the flood of positive feedback we have received from those that joined the 2024 Forum and are proud that since its founding in 2011, LTF has served as a platform for leaders to collaborate, build trust and develop long standing relationships across the technology ecosystem in Latin America. This private annual gathering aims to contribute to a stronger technology entrepreneurial ecosystem in Latin America, a sector that drives economic prosperity, creates high quality jobs, and can shape the future of the region.
