Topic: Finding Growth and Avoiding Risk Across Latin America in 2026

Speaker: John Price, Managing Director, Americas Market Intelligence (AMI)

Presentation: 
John Price, Managing Director of Americas Market Intelligence, will lead us through a presentation of how their firm foresees the leading markets in LatAm in the year ahead.  300M Latin Americans will go to the polls in 2026, elections that will continue to reshape the political landscape as Latin America shows signs of rejecting populism and embracing smaller government and less regulation.  The region is in the cross-hairs of a disruptive US foreign policy and the envious prize in a geopolitical race for critical minerals, middle income markets, energy and agrifood, all while racing ahead with massive investments in digitization and AI.  Webinar attendees will walk away with concrete insights on where to focus their regional expansion.
