As the topic suggests, the 2018 Forum will explore a selection of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on the energy sector and potential solutions to gender and economic inequality within the Latin American Region. Our aim is to expand the Forum to a two-day event of panel sessions, case studies, workshops, and networking receptions, complemented by an internship or start-up fair for students and professionals alike to showcase the many opportunities in the region. Our detailed provisional agenda can be found here.
If you want to know more about what it was like to attend previous editions of the Forum, I would highly encourage you to check this video and our previous editions section on the website. We hope to see you there in 2018 and do not hesitate to get in touch or follow us on social media if you have any questions, suggestions, want to stay updated or wish to participate!"
