United We Prevail

Latin America Investment Conference in Washington, DC

LAC Investment Conference Sponsors

The Americas Foundation, TAF, with International Investor, LLP, its strategic partner,  have the pleasure to invite you to attend our upcoming unique Conference focusing on High Technology and Investment in Latin America this coming November 9th and 10th, 1999 in Washington, DC:

"LATIN AMERICA HIGH-TECH INVESTMENT, TRADE
AND ECONOMIC STRATEGY CONFERENCE"

    This day and one-half event will feature key government and business leaders from Latin America, the U.S. and Europe, institutional investors and prominent leaders of high-tech companies. The purpose of the conference is to address investment policy, capital formation, election politics and trade issues impacting Latin America and the Caribbean in the new millennium.

    Latin America's economic overall progress continues, unabated by temporary setbacks in the region. Average GDP growth surpassed that of Asia in 1998, and trade growth from the region is outpacing that of the world at large. In addition, the start-up of many high technology companies and the emergence of an entrepreneurial class of young executives have escaped the attention of the business media in the US. As a result of government sponsored privatizations and cross border merger activity, this process is poised for acceleration and growth. This conference will highlight many of the players involved and offer unique analysis of those sectors and nations that will prosper most in the new environment.

    We expect about 200 participants representing the international institutional investment community, high technology companies and many international organizations, including public and private sector officials, to attend the event.
