I couldn’t complete the exit survey for EAGx Latam due to a technical glitch, but just to add a little anecdotal evidence to its counterfactual impact:
Meetups for attendees from Mexico, Chile/Argentina, Colombia/Perú, Brazil and Spain.
As one of the student community builders from Chile, one of the most surprising things about EAGx LatAm was that it was the first time we met EA professionals from Chile. Most of them were people that we would probably have never found if we had not gone to the conference.[1]
Thanks to this, we were able to start a national/city group just from the sheer amount of Chilean attendees to the conference, making it the third national group to emerge in Latin America and perhaps (sorry Mexico) the one with the biggest number of professionals.
We even met Rob Gledhill (the head of groups at CEA) for the first time, even though he lived in the same city as us. Rob, if you’re reading this, I’m still sorry for abandoning you at the fountain 😅

This is so awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing and good luck with the group!
