Anyone attending Latimpacto events must agree to this policy.

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.

Casual, comfortable, and lightweight attire is appropriate for the event and perfectly matches the energy of Manaus.
