LatAm Tech Forum 2026

400 people. 36 hours.

You'll see the speakers and hang with the people you already know. That leaves a few hundred people you'll walk right past.

Not because you didn't want to meet them. Because you didn't know what they were up to.

See who's in the room before you arrive.

Not just names and titles. Faces, what they're working on, what they're looking for — enough context to know who's worth a conversation before you walk in.

The list is yours before, during, and after the event. Mark people you want to meet. Come back to it at any point. It doesn't disappear when the conference ends.

Hey Isabella, saw you're rebuilding logistics across 9 countries. We ran into something similar scaling payment rails. Would love to compare notes.

Yes! The regulatory side is the real challenge. Coffee before the morning session tomorrow?

Perfect. Lobby at 8? ☕

Launching April 20

The directory and double opt-in are live today. AI-powered picks are coming three days before the event.

AI Picks

Beta

The best connections aren't the obvious ones.

A directory gives you names and titles. Porter reads between the lines — finding the uncommon commonalities that make a conversation worth having.

The person solving your problem in a completely different industry. The one who went through your exact chapter two years ago. The investor who knows everyone you need to meet — but you'd never have found by scanning a list.

Porter looks at what you actually care about, what you're working on, and what you're trying to figure out. Then it mixes it up — five people, five different reasons to meet. Not five versions of “you're both in fintech.”

Opportunity
Valentina R.Valentina R.

Clear mutual win. The connection both sides would kick themselves for missing.

Meet Porter

Try it

Tell Porter what matters to you this year. Not your biography.

Porter is your personal relationships agent. A short, private WhatsApp conversation — what you're working on, what you're trying to figure out, who you want to find. Nothing is shared without your permission.

Porter uses what you share to help you prepare for the event and quietly find the right people in the room. When there's a match worth making, both sides agree before anything happens. No one gets a message they didn't opt into.

Context-aware and curious

Porter knows the event, the participants, and the themes. It uses that context to ask you the right questions and find the interesting threads in what you share — things even you might not have thought to mention.

Whatever you share, you stay in control

Your conversation with Porter is private. Nothing is shared with anyone without your explicit yes. Porter suggests — you decide who sees what.

Carry your dossier to every event

Activate Porter once and you don't start from zero next time. It remembers what you care about, who you've met, and what changed since then. Your network intelligence compounds.

Hey — Porter here, prepping for LTF. I've been going through the participant list. A few cross-border payments people, but also a couple of founders I wouldn't have guessed. What's the one conversation that would make this trip worth it?

9:12 AM

Someone who's actually navigated Brazilian fintech regulation. Not theory — been through it.

9:14 AM

Noted. What about beyond work — anything you're into lately that might connect you with someone unexpected?

9:14 AM

I've been getting into climate tech investing on the side. Mostly curiosity but getting serious.

Beyond the event

Try it

Carry your dossier to every event.

Activate Porter once and you don't start from zero next time. It remembers what you care about, who you've met, and what changed since then. Your relationships stay warm across events, not just within one.

When there's a real reason to reconnect — someone's planning a trip to a city you mentioned, a shared question resurfaced, a project shifted — Porter nudges you. Not a notification. A reason to reach out.

The more events you attend, the richer your dossier gets. Multiple events, multiple relationships, one continuous thread.

LTF 2026 · April

You meet Catalina and Joaquín

Catalina scaled across 3 LatAm markets. Joaquín built payment rails for small farms. Both conversations land — you exchange numbers.

June

Catalina mentions she’s heading to São Paulo

Porter knows you’re planning a Brazil trip too. It nudges you: “Catalina’s in SP the same week — worth a coffee?”

Climate Summit · October

Your dossier carries over

New event, but Porter already knows your interests, who you’ve met, and what changed. It spots three people from Joaquín’s network in the room.

LTF 2027 · April

A year of context

You arrive with a full year of relationships behind you. Porter picks up where you left off — and the room already knows you.

Who's behind this

Built for the people in the room.
