01 The context

## A week to back Latin American talent

Colombia Tech Week 2026, one of Latin America's largest tech networking events, took place in Bogotá from 10 to 16 August and gathered thousands of attendees. We chose to back it as a 2026 Gold Sponsor, a bet on the talent redefining tech in Latin America. The week also needed one place where attendees could follow the agenda, find each other and set up meetings. Building it became our job.

02 Design and build

## From a search to a 1:1 meeting

We built the official app of the week around one tab bar: home, map, agenda, networking, chat and a personal calendar. In networking, attendees searched the directory and opened profiles showing role, industry, company and meeting availability in 30-minute blocks. Buttons let them request a meeting or block a user, and the 1:1 chat let two people agree to meet during Colombia Tech Week.

The app in use: search an attendee, open their profile and 30-minute slots, then chat 1:1.

### Networking by profile

Attendees found each other by search and saw role, industry, company and availability in 30-minute blocks before asking for a meeting.

-
02

### 1:1 meetings and chat

A meeting request button and a 1:1 chat helped attendees agree on a time to meet during the week, and a block button kept them in control.

-
03

### The week in one app

Home, map, agenda, networking, chat and a personal calendar shared one tab bar, so attendees followed the week from their phones.

### Gold Sponsor 2026
