PODER Magazine presents a series of events and conferences developed by PODER as a complement to the monthly publication to further the discussion of industry trends and market opportunities presented to its readers.

These events seek to create an intellectually stimulating environment for a significant group of leaders across several areas of interest. During the events, attendees build new relationships, interact with acquaintances and gain constructive insight from discussions that tackle vital topics related to their companies and the achievement of their objectives in a continuously evolving environment.

BACKGROUND
PODER PODER has joined forces with Georgetown and Columbia universities and the Boston Consulting Group to create high-level gatherings for senior executives and global leaders. The magazine also seeks to partner with the right organizations for the subjects explored in each event: whether with the Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense and the National Geographic Society for its Green Forum, or the Inter-American Development Bank for the annual forecast of the Americas.

The thorough selection of both program content and target audience gives these events recognition among the attendees. PODER brings together some of the most respected leaders in their fields and incorporates diverse points of view ensuring a rich conversation with the objective of furthering innovative, actionable conclusions.

PROGRAM & CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
PODER delivers compelling events through the development of highly targeted content-based programs. Each one is carefully crafted to produce an interactive and provocative environment that aims to foster communication among attendees. To this end, the magazine focuses on the critical issues in the industries and communities it targets, and debates these topics during the events. PODER events offer a critical advantage through the gathering of knowledge from supporting partners and the editor¹s access to a large network of contributors.

SPEAKERS & ATTENDEES
The continuous growth of the publication¹s reader base allows access to political, business, academic, social and cultural spheres. This network is nurtured by the publication that continues to further strong, lasting, functioning relationships with many of them. This influential network of contributors, along with PODER's ongoing content development and its advancement in research in a variety of fields, provides an ability to reach out to speakers that are core to the content of each event. Upon confirmation, the publication¹s editors work closely with moderators and speakers to synchronize each event¹s program in order to foster a distinctive, stimulating and worthwhile experience for attendees. PODER recognizes the broad availability of conferences, summits and events that corporate executives and organizational leaders have to choose from.

THE COMMITMENT
The commitment of PODER events is to collaborate with sponsors and attendees to provide truly worthwhile experiences. PODER values the discussions during events, but assigns significant importance to the continued influence these events can exert afterwards. Through PODER Magazine¹s special editions, which cover these events, and unique partnerships with local, regional and national media outlets, PODER programs seek to affect the long-term agendas of the region¹s leaders with a steady flow of innovation, while fostering the creation of new partnerships that will also enrich and promote the brands associated with the events.
