While undoubtedly an appealing locale, Miami more importantly represents the ideal meeting point between North and South America allowing attendees to come together in a cross continental exchange of ideas and interests, which is what made the event such a success in its inaugural year when over 200 attendees from across the regions gathered for focused deal making and industry shaping debate.

Speaking of the 2010 event,  Ron Czerny, Chair MEF LatAm said; “One of MEF’s goals for the event was to exploit the organization’s global footprint and strong representation in both regions to facilitate cross-border business.. Utilizing innovative programming including a round table Leadership Summit format, MEF facilitated an interactive discussion amongst business leaders to take a deep dive into the industry’s critical issues and business opportunities.”

Full details of the savings you can make on registering before the October 7 deadline can be found on the event website. It's worth noting too that the deadline for speaker submissions has also been extended, so MEF members can still propose speakers for the many panels to be hosted.
