    All conference spaces are designed to promote conversations, connections, and the sharing of experiences and best practices. On September 09, we’ll have field visits aimed at connecting with and reflecting on impactful initiatives in the city and how to apply them in our organizations. On September 10 and 11, there will be keynote speakers, workshops, and sharing collective sessions that will also encourage peer exchange.
    The Conference is a space for connection and collective learning. You will be able to meet and engage in dialogue with new people to explore potential partnerships. However, in line with our non-solicitation policy, Latimpacto is committed to creating a safe and open environment where our community can collaborate without being approached for contributions or assistance. Anyone attending Latimpacto events must agree to this policy.
    Given the richness and focus of the Conference, we suggest not organizing parallel events during official programming hours to ensure connections with other participants. Side events may be held after the official agenda concludes. Latimpacto cannot co-host events, as we’ve received many such requests and unfortunately cannot accommodate them all.
