The event started on Thursday afternoon with an opening cocktail in which attendees were able to network with the more than 15 speakers and 13 companies represented in the conference. At the cocktail, people were able to taste great wines and beers and also especial aperitives from Latin America. To complete the latin grastronomic night a delicious latin entrée was served for the more than 100 people public.
During the dinner, the first keynote speaker of the conference, Darys Estrella (CEO of the Dominican Stock Exchange), shared the 10 main lessons of her life. It was an inspiring, motivating and beautiful speech and I believe she made it clear how she had been so successful in her professional and personal life. At the end, HLBSA offered a plaque to Ms. Estrella for her contributions to the Latin community.
To close the night, HLBSA offered a great latin party pushed by a live Salsa Band! By the first note from the drums people stood up and the Colloquium suddenly was transformed from a formal place into a typical latin salsa saloon. Some people were really trying for the first time the salsa moves and other, like our Associate Dean Suslow, were really professional dancers.
On Friday, the day started with a continental breakfast at the Blau Auditorium. After some bagels and coffee, people were delighted by a great speech from the second keynote speaker of the Conference: Steve Puig, Vice-President Private Sector Inter-American Development Bank. Mr. Puig shared his main professional achievements during successful career. One more time, people got a huge injection of inspiration to be put in practice after the MBA.
After Mr. Puig speech, the first panel on finance was on: Uncertainty, growth and stability in Latin America. At this panel the Conference brought 3 great executives from important companies: Osvaldo Nascimento (Executive Director for Personal Investments at Itau-Unibanco), Martin Valdes (Vice-President, Latin America Investment Banking at Citigroup) and Steve Puig. The panel offered great insights bout the recent crisis, bringing a perspective from great executives especially about the impact on Latin America.
