Florida International University’s College of Business Administration said it will host the 2012 Americas Venture Capital Conference: An International Summit of Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship, Nov. 14-15.
The third annual conference, presented by FIU’s Eugenio Pino and Family Global Entrepreneurship Center, will be held at the JW Marriott Hotel, 1109 Brickell Ave., in Miami.
Entrepreneurial firms doing business in Latin America and South Florida are invited to apply to present their businesses to an audience of venture capitalists and other strategic investors. There will be two tracks of companies: the "Top Global Innovative Ventures" — more-established and developed businesses, and the "Top Global Emerging Ventures" — companies in the early stages, looking for investors. Companies seeking to present will have to submit a two-minute video and a PowerPoint presentation. For more information about attending and applying to present at the conference, visit
