Every year we put at least 10 months of hard work to ensure we deliver a great GRI Latam in NY. During this time we confirm keynote speakers, sessions, hotel, operations, etc.

Now, as you know, the GRI is a Club whose mission is to create meaningful relationships. With that in mind, in 2020 we decided to ensure you come back from Manhattan with an extremely rich and new experience. On top of ensuring the event is the best possible, we have organised a series of activities which intends to offer you different ways to build new relationships and reinforce your existing ones.

While we know our 500+ members present in NY won’t be attending every single activity we are offering here, we like to think you won’t regret joining us in some of these exciting moments. Pick your favourite and have a unique experience!

We look forward to welcoming you for the GRI Week 2020 in NY!
