Agenda. Flyer for Latin America Business Forum

For nearly two decades, the Latin American Business Forum at LBS has connected influential voices from across the region’s public and private sectors with students, faculty and alumni from the LBS community and beyond – fostering meaningful conversations about Latin America’s key challenges and opportunities.

Organized by the LBS Latin American Club and Brazil Club, the Forum has become one of London’s most prominent events dedicated to the region, bringing together over 200 participants each year, including business leaders, policymakers and graduate students.

The 20th edition will take place as a full-day event, featuring keynote speakers and panel discussions centered around this year’s theme:
Latin America: Resilience, Reinvention, and Global Impact.

Beyond the discussions, the Forum offers a unique networking opportunity with graduate students from leading universities across Europe, creating a space to exchange perspectives, build meaningful connections, and strengthen ties between participants.
