About this event
If your favorite conversations about technology happen before the conference badge goes on, this is your kind of morning. FFF Round: Friends, Fools and Finca brings the energy of Colombia Tech Week into a more grounded, human setting: early, in person, and built for the people who want real dialogue around cloud, tech, and community. This is the kind of gathering where the format matters as much as the topic. With CloudSeguro and Torrenegra Organization behind it, the event signals a space for thoughtful exchange, practical perspective, and the kind of networking that starts with curiosity rather than a sales pitch. What Is This? At its core, this is a community-centered round built around conversation. The title says a lot: Friends, Fools and Finca suggests an environment that is open, candid, and willing to make room for ambitious ideas, unconventional questions, and the people who are building with both seriousness and personality. Set during #ColombiaTechWeek, the event sits at the intersection of cloud, technology, and local community. Rather than framing networking as a side effect, it makes connection part of the main experience. Expect something more intimate and discussion-driven than a standard stage-heavy meetup. Because this is an in-person gathering in Bogotá, the event also creates a rare chance to meet people in the same regional ecosystem who are working through similar infrastructure, product, security, and growth questions. The format is especially valuable for attendees who want context, not just content. What to Expect The morning start time sets the tone: focused, fresh, and intentional. A 7:30 AM gathering tends to attract people who are there to participate, not just pass through, which usually leads to better conversations and more useful introductions. You should expect a mix of structured and informal interaction around the themes of cloud, tech, and community. Depending on how the round unfolds, that may mean small-group discussions, shared perspectives from organizers and attendees, and plenty of room for direct conversation instead of passive listening. A likely rhythm for this type of event includes: Arrival and early networking with other builders, operators, founders, and tech professionals Round-style discussion centered on current ideas, challenges, or opportunities in cloud and the broader tech ecosystem Open conversation where attendees can exchange practical experience, ask questions, and compare notes Relationship-building time that feels more personal than a crowded conference corridor What makes this format useful is not just the subject matter, but the quality of interaction it invites. You are not showing up simply to consume information. You are showing up to add perspective, test ideas, and meet people who may become collaborators, peers, or trusted contacts well after Colombia Tech Week ends. Why Attend If you work in tech, especially in areas connected to cloud, infrastructure, startups, or ecosystem building, this event gives you something many larger gatherings cannot: signal over noise. Instead of trying to meet everyone, you can spend time with the right people in a setting that supports actual exchange. There is also real value in attending a session that sits slightly outside rigid conference formats. The most useful insights often come from hearing how others are approaching similar problems in practice, whether that is adoption, security, scaling, partnerships, community-building, or navigating the realities of the regional market. You should attend if you want to: Build stronger connections within the Bogotá and Colombia tech community Talk with people who care about cloud in practical, not purely theoretical, ways Be part of a more conversational and less performative event format Start your Colombia Tech Week experience with meaningful momentum Spend time in a room where curiosity, candor, and technical perspective can coexist Even if you already have a packed week of events, this one offers a different kind of value. It is especially well suited to people who believe the best opportunities usually begin with a good conversation in the right room. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Bogotá, Colombia, which makes local presence part of the experience. If you value face-to-face conversation and reading the room in real time, that matters here. The event takes place on Saturday, August 31 at 7:30 AM GMT-5. Because it starts early, plan to arrive on time and ready to engage from the beginning. Morning events often move quickly, and the best informal conversations frequently happen right at the start. A few smart ways to prepare: Come ready to introduce what you are working on clearly and briefly Think about one or two cloud or tech questions you would genuinely like to discuss Leave room in your schedule afterward in case the best conversations continue beyond the formal session If you are attending Colombia Tech Week more broadly, use this as a strategic anchor for the rest of your weekend and week If you are looking for a polished but impersonal event, this may not be it. If you are looking for a sharp, community-driven morning with strong people in the room and better-than-average conversations about cloud and tech, this is exactly where you should be.
