Future of Tech

The future of tech is way bigger than Silicon Valley, which is why Rest of World is holding live events in four different cities to highlight the tech leaders, investors, policy makers and activists shaping the way their countries and continents are evolving thanks to the internet.

On September 8, join us in CDMX for the second installment of the Future of Tech // LIVE event series, where we'll answer the question: is Latin American tech ready for what comes next?

The event will be anchored by a debate featuring local tech executives, founders, investors and activists — moderated by Alex González Ormerod, Rest of World's LatAm Editor — on the question of whether Latin American tech is ready for its next phase of growth, or whether systemic challenges will prevent LatAm from keeping pace with tech ecosystems in other emerging markets.

Rest of World's Editorial Director, Khushbu Shah, will be hosting a “How to Pitch” workshop, where attendees will learn the ins and outs of pitching stories to journalism outlets, and how to maximize the impact of media coverage, which is critical for early- and mid-stage companies.

The program will also feature a panel of global investors to discuss the VC boom cycle in Latin America. Despite a shaky global economic outlook, VC investment across the local tech scene is bucking the trend — we’ll discuss why the region's funding is still flowing, whether the good news is set to last, and how startups can best ride this bumpy bull market.

The full-afternoon event, co-hosted by the talented team at Yayem, will conclude with a lively cocktail reception, featuring equal parts networking and community-building.

Stay tuned as we continue the conversation in Jakarta, and Delhi later this year!
