About this event
Bogotá is a city where ambitious people are always building, testing, and opening new doors. This Encuentro miembros Emprelatam is a chance to step out from behind the screen and spend an evening with other members of the Emprelatam community who are doing the same. If you value real conversations, sharp perspectives, and meeting people who understand the realities of entrepreneurship in Latin America, this is the room you’ll want to be in. About the Event This is an in-person community gathering for Emprelatam members in Bogotá, Colombia. The focus is simple: bring the community together face to face so members can connect more directly, strengthen existing relationships, and create new ones with people who share a similar mindset around building, growing, and supporting ventures across the region. Because it is a solo-comunidad-emprelatam event, the atmosphere is expected to feel more relevant and more comfortable than a broad public meetup. You’ll be surrounded by people who already have a connection point through Emprelatam, which makes it easier to move beyond small talk and into conversations that are actually useful. The format is designed around community and networking rather than passive attendance. That means the value of the evening will come from who is in the room, what they are working on, what they have learned, and how willing they are to share. It is a setting for exchanging ideas, making introductions, and building relationships that can continue long after the event ends. What to Expect Expect an evening centered on meeting fellow members in person, reconnecting with familiar faces, and getting to know new people within the Emprelatam network. Rather than a highly formal program, this kind of gathering works best as a space for open conversation, natural introductions, and peer-to-peer exchange. You can expect the experience to include moments like: Introductions and casual networking with other Emprelatam members in Bogotá and beyond Conversations about current projects, business challenges, and ideas in progress Peer exchange around lessons learned, opportunities, and practical insights Relationship-building with founders, operators, and community-minded professionals Serendipitous connections that can lead to collaborations, referrals, or future conversations In practice, that often means moving between small-group discussions and one-on-one conversations. Some attendees will come to catch up with people they already know from the community; others will be attending to expand their circle and meet members they have only interacted with online, or not yet met at all. This is also the kind of evening where the best moments are often the most direct ones: a useful introduction, an honest conversation about a challenge you are facing, a fresh point of view, or meeting someone whose experience overlaps with your next step. Why Attend There is a difference between being part of a community online and actually building trust in person. This event gives you the chance to deepen your connection to Emprelatam by turning names, messages, and profile photos into real relationships. That matters if you care about staying close to people who can challenge your thinking, share context, and open meaningful doors. If you are building something, working through growth decisions, or looking for stronger connections in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, an in-person member gathering can save time. Instead of cold outreach or scattered networking, you get a concentrated space to meet people who already share a common frame of reference through the community. Attending can be valuable because you may leave with: New relationships with fellow Emprelatam members Practical perspectives from people facing similar decisions or opportunities Better visibility within the community through direct interaction Potential collaborations that only emerge through live conversation A stronger sense of belonging to the network in Bogotá and across Latin America Just as important, this event offers a reset from transactional networking. The point is not to collect contacts; it is to meet the right people, have sharper conversations, and strengthen your place inside a community built around mutual support and growth. Practical Details The event will take place in person in Bogotá, Colombia on Thursday, September 14 at 7:00 PM GMT-5. Since it is an evening gathering, it fits well for members who want to connect after the workday and spend focused time with the community in a more relaxed setting. This is a community-focused, in-person format, so plan to be present and ready to engage. The most useful attendees usually come with a clear sense of what they are working on, what kinds of people they hope to meet, and what they can contribute to others in the room. A few simple ways to get more out of the evening: Be ready to introduce yourself clearly and explain what you are building or focused on Think about two or three current topics you would genuinely like to discuss Come prepared to listen generously and make helpful connections where you can If you already know other members, use the event to deepen those relationships, not just start new ones If you are part of Emprelatam and based in Bogotá or nearby, this is a straightforward opportunity to show up, be visible, and spend time with people who are likely to be relevant to your next conversation, next idea, or next collaboration.
