Two-thirds of the business leaders present were from Brazilian companies, while the others were from Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The CEO Conference also had a strong presence of international investors, most of whom were based in the United States, along with representatives from family offices and insurance companies.
