Events

A named room inside the host.

AIC does not run a two-day owned flagship. Latin Forum is a Spanish-first room inside a conference people already attend.

What actually happens in the room.

1Default

Mesa redonda

Facilitated executive roundtable. Todos participan. Sin escenario, sin slides, un solo prompt.

Time
75–90 min, daytime
Size
8–15 seated peers
Language
Spanish-first
Staff
1 facilitator + 1 closer

One table. Everyone a participant. Five-minute frame, then one prompt. Last ten minutes: written next step, then the closer books 20-minute 1:1s. Founders are not at the mesa unless invited as one or two operators.

2Session slot

Reverse-pitch / buyer briefing

Compradores al micrófono. El ejecutivo brief del problema; los founders escuchan.

Time
60–75 min + 1:1s
Size
4–6 execs · room as given
Language
Execs brief in Spanish
When
The host gives a session slot

Executives give a short problem brief — not a company commercial — then double-opt-in 1:1s in the same room. Use when the host already runs customer-voice sessions.

3Side grid

Curated meetup + 1:1

El grupo primero; la conversación privada después.

Time
45–60 min + 1:1s
Size
12–25, pre-clustered
Language
Spanish-first
When
The host only gives a side-event grid

Clustered by role or problem — not an open mixer. Frame, structured mixing, write who you need, then a small 1:1 block.

Format 4 · Pre-matched 1:1s — conversion layer, not the open

Use after 1, 2, or 3. Double opt-in. Spreadsheet, not a platform. Blank on first-touch.

Format 5 · Timed clock — not the Latin Forum default

Locked to a shared-stage flagship, not a bolt-on with no shared introduction. Not first touch here.

Format 6 · Topic tables — wrong staff math for a small Forum

Topic board can live as foam inside the roundtable room. Do not staff a lounge all day for a 20-person Forum.
