One of the hottest areas on the globe right now for fintech is Latin America. There is plenty of VC money flowing into this region and fintech is getting the lion’s share. And the debt investors are also beginning to focus on Latin America. Brazil’s leading digital bank, Nubank, became the most valuable private fintech company on the planet (outside of China) when it secured its latest funding round. And there are many other fantastic success stories throughout the region.
Many of you have reached out to us at LendIt Fintech asking us to bring our unique event experience to the Latin American market. For these reasons, last week we launched of our first ever Latin American event. We are partnering with Finnovista, the leading fintech event company for Latin America, to bring you FINNOSUMMIT Miami by LendIt Fintech. This English language event will take place in Miami on December 3-4 at the JW Marriott Marquis.
We have already secured keynote speakers from some of the leading companies in the region such as Creditas, Clip, Softbank, Guiabolso and we are just getting started. We will be covering the digital banking ecosystem, lending innovation, payments and the cutting edge of fintech. If you are interested in speaking please fill out a speaker application.
