SAO PAULO, 1 December 2021 –– With persistent challenges to the health and prosperity of the people in Latin America, the region's political and business leaders are compelled to act.

GZERO Summit Latin America. Held virtually on the 6th, 7th and 8th of December, the event will bring together the region's top leaders and policymakers in the public and private sectors to examine Latin America's key challenges and opportunities.
Among the confirmed speakers at the GZERO Summit will be Argentina's President
Alberto Fernandez, Ecuador's President
Guillermo Lasso, Brazil's Economic Minister
Paulo Guedes, Mexico's Finance Minister
Rogelio Ramirez de la O, Peru's Central Bank President
Julio Velarde, and many more…

More than 1,000 corporate decision makers, political leaders and investors are expected to attend the event, which will focus on several themes, including:
- 2022 election expectations in Brazil and Colombia.
- Rising inflation fears in several key nations.
- Improving the region's public health challenges amid new Covid variants.
- Deciphering Latin America's climate agenda in the wake of the COP26 climate summit.
Kicking-off the summit will be Ian Bremmer's much-anticipated "State of the World" speech, which airs live on www.gzeromedia.com on 6 December at 8 pm EST. Bremmer will discuss why China and the US are not headed for a new Cold War, and why America is turning its attentions further inward. He also plans to address why the world's biggest tech companies are challenging nations by establishing their own form of sovereignty.
