So what is Sime MIA? It is a conference that brings together global thought leaders from technology, media, and the arts to Miami to network and exchange their vision for the future. It is being held on December 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

The first day begins with a private  Family Office/HNWI Workshop, which will facilitate discussions about investing in venture-backed startups and aims to serve the community of high net-worth individuals and family offices. In the afternoon, The Gathering will allow All Access attendees to engage in conversation and workshops about the latest industry trends. On day two, The Summit includes keynotes and panels with global thought leaders and industry experts. On Day 3, the Wayra Latam Showcase offers the opportunity to meet entrepreneurs who are driving the culture of growth and innovation in Latin America.
