America Business Forum was born in 2017 in Uruguay, a small forum with an outsized ambition: to build the stage where the world's most important conversations would happen.

Nine editions. Nine years of proving that when the right people share a room, something shifts. Ideas become decisions. Introductions become partnerships. Words become movements.

In 2025, that proof reached its highest point. Miami's Kaseya Center. Twenty thousand people. A global broadcast reaching 300 million. Heads of state, founders, athletes, and artists not as guests, but as voices with something urgent to say.

What started as a regional forum had become something the world hadn't seen before: a platform with the scale of a stadium and the intention of a boardroom.

Miami 2026 is the next chapter. Bigger stage. Deeper conversations. A moment the world will not forget.

Ignacio González comes from Uruguay. A country where bringing people to the table is not a strategy, it is a cultural reflex. That is the environment that shaped him.

Nearly a decade across television formats, music festivals, and large scale live entertainment taught him something most people in business underestimate: the live experience, when curated with intention, is the most powerful medium we have to move ideas, capital, and consensus. Scale is not a vanity metric. It is a form of substance.

That conviction led him to found America Business Forum. A stage where the world's most influential leaders speak not only to each other, but to the world.

He was raised to believe that the person who thinks differently is not an enemy. Making the world a more united place is the reason he builds.
