With a population of 650 million, and being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, Latin America has huge potential for rapid further growth. Brazil alone has over 30% of the region’s population with subscribers there leading the way in app usage.
Through our MEF CONNECTS LATAM event we will be shining a spotlight on this region. MEF’s aim is simple: to connect industry stakeholders from around the world with regional players and those opportunities. Both members and non-members doing business across Latin America will be able to showcase their work to an international audience.
MEF CONNECTS LATAM was spread over two days: the first looking at LATAM as a whole, the second day zooming in on Brazil.
