Our inaugural Private Equity World Latin America was an enormous success.  Deals got done, contacts were made. We received positive feedback, especially compared to our competitors in the market.

GPs, LPs, and entrepreneurs:

Banks, law firms, exchanges and service providers:

Learn how to approach institutional investors about integrating Latin America into their emerging markets portfolio. Consider lessons learned from experienced GPs and LPs comparing Latin America to other emerging markets Hear case studies of successful exits from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and the region at large Speak with industry leaders about which sectors and countries promise to dominate 2008-2009 Build on the experience of others to consider how GPs might add value for entrepreneurs beyond financing

Demonstrate your insights into which regulatory and tax changes are on the horizon in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and the rest of the region Show GPs how they might increase their use of leverage to broaden their investment muscle Debate what private equity investors need to know to make use of public markets Discuss how investors can take advantage of new opportunities for cross border investments and multi-national corporate partners Apply your experience to panels on what due diligence is needed in order to capitalize on the creativity and vision that allows for continued growth in Latin American markets

Leaders from the Latin Private Equity market attended the inaugural event to discuss, debate, schmooze and do business with the top players in the region. Keynote speakers from industry and government examined how the region's political, economic and capital market stability has created a unique position for private equity investors to get involved at the ground floor in a pre-boom market.

Overall, the agenda at Private Equity World Latin America 2007 brought together the key players in the Latin American private equity community and provided a forum where they could learn about and discuss the key issues shaping their industry in the next twelve months.
