4th Latin American Leadership Forum

 

The Latin American Leadership Forum brings together infrastructure decision-makers and stakeholders around the top 50 infrastructure projects in the region.  Projects cover the following categories - digital, disaster relief, electricity, mining & logistics, oil & gas, ports & logistics, tourism, urban mass transit, water/ wastewater, and 'strategic' projects. The Forum also presents the Annual Leadership Awards for the top projects in Latin America.

The 4th Annual Latin American Leadership Forum:  “Taking it to the Next Level: Financing and Building the Best Competitiveness Projects in the Region” seeks to increase the level of investment in infrastructure in the region to 4% of GDP. It does this by providing multiple opportunities to catalyze the business that will make these projects go forward. LALF4 features two new project categories: tourism and disaster relief.

The Leadership Forum Experience: Leadership Forum participants include high-level political and policy officials, key financial executives and industry leaders.  The 2-day event is an interactive environment that includes private meetings, workshops, and a CEO breakfast.
