About this event
Start Colombia Tech Week by moving your body and meeting the people you actually want to know. Colombia Tech Week Kick Off: Workout & Networking By Amela is a high-energy morning gathering in Bogotá designed for people who like their networking a little more active, a little more human, and a lot more memorable than standard coffee-and-name-tag events. This is a chance to begin the week with intention: show up early, shake off travel or screen fatigue, and connect with fellow builders, operators, founders, creatives, and community-minded professionals in a setting that makes conversation feel natural. Instead of waiting until the evening to meet people, you’ll start the day strong and carry that momentum into the rest of Tech Week. About the Event At its core, this event brings together two things that usually make people feel better immediately: movement and real conversation. It’s an in-person workout and networking experience hosted in Bogotá on the morning of Tuesday, August 26 at 8:30 AM GMT-5, giving attendees a fresh, social start before the wider Tech Week calendar fully ramps up. The format is simple on purpose. You’ll gather with a community of people interested in tech, wellness, and meaningful connection, take part in a fitness-oriented group experience, and have space to meet others before, during, or after the workout flow. The result is a more relaxed kind of networking, where the pressure is lower and the quality of interaction is often higher. This event is especially well suited to people who don’t love transactional networking. If your best conversations tend to happen while walking, training, or doing something shared rather than standing in a crowded room, this format will feel like a better fit. It gives everyone a natural starting point and something immediate in common. What to Expect Expect a morning that balances structure with room to connect. While the exact flow may vary, the experience is centered around a group workout session paired with intentional opportunities to meet others attending Colombia Tech Week. You can likely expect the morning to include: Arrival and check-in in Bogotá before the session begins A welcoming group atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in, even if you arrive solo A guided fitness experience designed to get people moving and energized Time for casual networking and conversation around the workout A strong early-day reset that sets the tone for the rest of your week What makes this kind of gathering work is the rhythm. You’re not expected to walk in and immediately “work the room.” Instead, the shared activity naturally breaks the ice. Conversations happen more organically because everyone is participating together rather than performing professionalism from the first minute. For many attendees, the value will come from the combination of physical activation and social ease. You’ll leave having done something good for yourself while also making new connections across the local and visiting tech community. That dual purpose is exactly what gives the event its appeal. Why Attend Tech weeks can be exciting, but they can also be intense. Calendars fill quickly, conversations blur together, and it’s easy to spend the whole week indoors, over-caffeinated, and slightly disconnected from your own energy. This event offers a smarter starting point: begin with movement, clarity, and people who are showing up with the same mindset. There’s also a practical networking advantage here. Morning events often attract people who are intentional, proactive, and serious about making the most of the week. By showing up early, you’re more likely to meet attendees who are ready to build relationships before schedules get crowded. You should attend if you want to: Meet people in tech in a setting that feels more natural than a standard mixer Start your day with energy instead of jumping straight into panels, meetings, or laptop time Build momentum for Colombia Tech Week from the very first morning Create better conversations through a shared activity rather than forced small talk Connect across interests like tech, fitness, community, and personal wellbeing Even if you already have a packed week ahead, this event can make the rest of it better. A strong start changes how you show up everywhere else. You may leave with new contacts, new collaborations, or simply a clearer head and better mood for the days ahead. Practical Details Location: In person in Bogotá, Colombia Date: Tuesday, August 26 Time: 8:30 AM GMT-5 Because this is an in-person morning workout and networking event, plan your schedule accordingly and give yourself enough time to arrive comfortably before the start. Morning events move best when people show up ready, so it’s worth treating this as the first real commitment of your day rather than something to squeeze in between other plans. A few helpful expectations to keep in mind: This is an in-person community event in Bogotá The focus is on both fitness and connection, so come ready for movement and conversation The early start makes it ideal for attendees who want to maximize the rest of their Tech Week day Solo attendance makes sense here; the format is naturally social and easier to enter than a traditional networking room If you care about building your week around good energy, strong conversations, and a healthier pace, this is a smart place to begin. Colombia Tech Week starts here: not with a pitch deck, not with a crowded evening venue, but with people showing up awake, active, and ready to connect.
