Innovation Immersion Programs and Conferences were held with top companies in Silicon Valley to create awareness about the signals of the future and build a road map on how corporations can adapt and embrace disruptive innovation.

​

Attendees ranged from C-level participants of Fortune 500 companies to entrepreneurs being exposed to top investors and mentors. This allowed entrepreneurs the opportunity to have a demo day and present their pitch.

​

As Project Coordinator, I established relationships with over 700 delegates from LATAM before their enrollment to the program, during, and after they attended the conferences in Silicon Valley. 

Lead over 700 delegates in their activities during each program, 500 of which are Key Account Managers, CEOs, Founders, and Investors. 
I was also in charge of vendor relationships and contract negotiation. I established over 40 cooperative agreements with multiple players in the service industry, 3 of which are Fortune 500 Companies

 

The immersion programs were composed of 4 days of conferences and meetings with key stakeholders and 1 leisure day to nearby tourist places. This project consisted of orchestrating a small internal team, vendors, speakers, and all the delegates attending the program.

​

I approached this project using 4 stages of the Project Management process as initiation, planning, execution, and closeout. 

​

I set up collaborative documents and used multiple platforms to be able to work with the internal team and also to be in constant communication with all the delegates. Platforms like Skype, WhatsApp, and Google Drive were used throughout the life of the project. 

​

The conferences created awareness within corporate leadership of Fortune 500 companies on how technology is disrupting their industry and how they can adopt the new trends. This resulted in building strategic partnerships between tech startups and corporations.
