The MIT Sloan Latin Conference is a student driven event held once a year that gathers the most influential leaders from business, government, academia and society in Latin America . They share their views about opportunities and challenges for the Region to an audience of more than 500 people from the Boston Area, including business people, students and professors from MIT, and other important universities.

We are pleased to host the 11th Latin Conference, Innovation for Growth of the MIT Sloan School of Management that will be held on Friday April 4th and Saturday April 5th.

In previous editions of the MIT Sloan Latin American Conference, several key note speakers attended, among them Mr. Carlos Salinas de Gortari, former President of Mexico, Mr. Leonel Fernandez, President of Dominican Republic and Mr. Enrique Iglesias, former President of Inter-American Development Bank; as well as important MIT members like Dr. Susan Hockfield, President of MIT; and MIT Sloan’s Dean, Prof. Richard Schmalensee. Previos editions gathered more than 500 people and were covered by more than 15 news articles in different Latin-American countries and the US.

The organization of the conference will be an open effort to the entire Latin Community at Sloan. Our belief is that sharing views, ideas and advancements through regular meetings, Sloanspace and informal conversations, will encourage ownership over this challenge and creativity.

This entails a great opportunity to promote MIT Sloan in our countries and in the New England region. This effort has been organized under 5 main areas that are described belUow. The people who will lead these areas are grouped in an Organizing Committee.

Please feel free to join us and contact the Organizing Committee to contribute to the 11th MIT Sloan Latin Conference.
