EmTech Digital, the international conference which represents the most innovative and transformative technology in the world will land in Latin America in June this year for the very first time.
The EmTech Digital conference is the most important international event in technology and comes directly from San Francisco, USA, hand in hand with MIT Technology Review in Spanish. Its arrival in Latin America for the first time demonstrates how the Digital Revolution is rapidly crossing borders but also how pervasive these developments are, located in every and nook and cranny of society and every micro-context of the global economy.
Mexico City will be the site of EmTech Digital LATAM where the conference will take place at the IPADE Business School. There will be a wide range of technical topics under discussion during the two days, among them Big Data, FinTech, Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing, automation, robotics, and security. The event, however, will place a special emphasis on the financial sector with discussion panels on the transformation of banks, Blockchain in times of saving, credit, and investment, and other aspects of the diverse effect of digitalization on the sector. Keynotes and lectures will be given by some of the most brilliant and innovative minds in technology today.
The precise effects of the Fourth Revolution, its digital tendencies and innovation and their combined effect on business models in Mexico and Latin America will be the focus. Sessions will be led by over twenty national and international speakers, pioneers and innovators who will be directing the debates and discussions on what will be the key technological tools and approaches necessary for the construction and launch of the digital future in new business models. Up to five-hundred participants are expected.
Mexico is an ideal choice of location for EmTech Digital LATAM. As a country it has both great growth potential and a clear economic disposition, open to expansion and to the potential opportunities of its economic fabric.
EmTech Digital will also be inviting transformative thinkers to join with members of the academic community in Mexico, Cambridge and San Francisco (USA) and Madrid, Spain to construct a forum of debate via an international platform of participants, an ideal context for their interaction with business corporations and new forms of work emerging from the requirements of the digital world.
Obviously the conference will be an ideal environment for the energy of disruptive ideas in technology to be explored and evaluated as they flourish in business all over the world. But it is also a statement to the commitment of continental business communities and their leaders towards the vanguard of this technology and innovation.
Rafael Gomez Nava, Executive Director of the IPADE Business School which will host the event puts it this way: ‘At IPADE, we commit to the idea of training future business leaders to be not only aware of the fundamental role of innovation in today’s world, but also active in their learning and adaption of new tools and best practice,’ he says. ‘This will include an international awareness of the latest developments, something we hope will be achieved during the EmTech Digital LATAM in June of this year.’
