For over ten years, the Latin American Business Associations (LABA) at NYU Stern and Columbia Business School have positioned their Latin American Business Conference as one of the most anticipated forums to discuss the pressing issues, challenges, and achievements of the region.

This year, both LABA organizations join forces again with the Young Professionals of the Americas (YPA) to organize the 2020 conference. The event will bring together leaders from Latin America for a full day of panels, keynotes, and networking. Private- and public-sector leaders will discuss the current business climate in the region focusing on innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, while also discussing the outlook for Latin America for the coming decade. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with guest speakers, dive into regional and global trends, and get professional development advice during lunch.

Tickets: $60 for YPA members, $80 for nonmembers.
