Biz Stone, Vicente Fox confirmed as keynote speakers at LatAm 2010

Stone runs one of the most talked about media companies in the world and sits at the cutting edge of social media. Twitter has redefined how brands understand consumer perception of their products and services and the 'Twitterverse' is quickly becoming the most powerful marketing forum of the next decade.

Fox was elected President of Mexico in the 2000 presidential election, the first president elected from an opposition party since Francisco I. Madero in 1910 and the first one in 71 years to defeat, with 42% of the vote, the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party. As well as his political life giving him a unique perspective on Mexico and its role within the region, Fox also served as President of Coca Cola Latin America, helping Coca-Cola become Mexico's top-selling soft drink, and increasing sales by almost 50%.

Latin America's first
