Conferences, seminars and forums you can build into the trip

An academic mission for Business, Management and Economics can be built around an industry event. You choose the event, or we help you weigh the options; we design the itinerary and coordinate flights, lodging, transfers and complementary activities according to the services booked.

Management and leadership conferences

Gatherings on strategy, leadership, finance, human resources or digital transformation.

Trade fairs and business matchmaking events

Opportunities to understand foreign trade, supply chains and relationships with suppliers and buyers.

Entrepreneurship and innovation forums

Events featuring startups, accelerators and innovation ecosystems.

International business seminars

Training in foreign trade, logistics, international marketing and the global economy.

Registration for each event depends on its organizers and their current terms. In the proposal, we spell out what the trip includes and which arrangements are handled by the event.

Visits that enrich the mission

In addition to the event, the agenda can include academic, corporate and institutional visits, subject to arrangement and availability:

  • Manufacturing, service and technology companies
  • Ports, free trade zones and logistics hubs
  • Chambers of commerce and industry associations
  • Innovation and entrepreneurship centers
  • Universities and business schools

Medellín, Bogotá and Cali bring together a wide range of industries. São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Madrid are benchmarks for international business.
