Yesterday I attended the Ernst & Young and Endeavor CEO Summit and it was great. I didn’t know this but I think the “E” in CEO is actually for Entrepreneur not Executive – yea they got me too. The location, Hotel Unique, was amazing and from the outside looked like a modern version of Noah’s Ark.
It was an all day event with 950 attendees, eight panel discussions with some of the most influential businessmen and women in Sao Paulo and Brazil, and dozens of entrepreneurs from some of the most innovative companies in all of Latin America (see below for a brief summary of the panelists).
After listening to all of the speakers, adjourning for several coffee breaks, and devouring an amazing lunch (I loved the squash/pumpkin stuffed ravioli) we and other members of the E&Y team headed to the bar restaurant atop Hotel Unique, which had one of the most amazing views of the city.

great event; more specifically Guilhereme Sampaio, Carolina
Pereira, Vivianne Ianagui, Beatriz Guido and Adriana Barreto.
