It will draw together the most senior media decision-makers from markets such as Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and many of the smaller, fast-growing advertising markets currently displaying double-digit growth.

The Festival of Media LatAm aims to provide the bridge between regional issues and global themes. Confirmed speakers include:

Alex Banks, VP Latin America, comScore
Miriane de Castro Schmidt, media director Brazil, AB InBev

Delegates with global remits will benefit from learning more about the specific country issues as well as witnessing the best local work. Local leaders will have their first opportunity to attend a regional Festival with "media" as its focus - a networking, learning and celebratory occasion, within an event brand with an international reputation for quality and seniority.
