With empanadas and beer, some 50 Uruguayan businessmen and entrepreneurs met in the east in the summer of 2008 with the aim of networking, talking about the previous year and challenges for the coming year. That was how Punta Tech was born, recalled Ariel Pfeffer, one of its founders.
A year after that spontaneous meeting, Pfeffer, Sergio Fogel and Pablo Brenner -the other two founders of Punta Tech- decided to professionalize it and hired the production company Lucero, in charge of organizing it since then. In its last edition, the event gathered more than 1,200 people at the Punta del Este Convention Center.
Over the years Punta Tech has become an instance in which entrepreneurs, investors, executives from the world of technology meet to share ideas and projects, and a reference event for Latin America. This year it will be held at the Atchugarry Foundation on January 14 and, for the first time, the sale of tickets to the public has been opened. The price of general tickets until January 12 is US$ 70 and they can be purchased on the web(www.puntameetup.com).
