Our mission is to educate and inspire students about Latin America's fastest growing market for entertainment and media. The first edition of the conference, which took place on October 10, 2015, happened at New York University, and counted with the following line-up: - Katia Lund, co-director of City of God (2002), nominated for 4 Academy Awards; - Rodrigo Teixeira, co-founder of Magnopus, Oscar winner for best visual effects in Hugo (2011); - Rafinha Bastos, former TV personality, comedian; - André Schivartche, partner of Schivartche Law, Latin America's biggest e-law firm; among others.
