America Business Forum was created with a clear purpose: to bring the biggest voices and the conversations shaping our future live to the world. In an era of accelerating change, leadership matters more than ever. The leaders defining our future should speak directly to the people whose lives their decisions shape.

In 2025, that vision came to life on an unprecedented scale. At Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, the world’s most influential leaders gathered on one stage, spanning business, technology, politics, sports, entertainment, and culture. Reaching an audience of 300 million across 119 countries, ABF established itself as the world’s leading leadership forum.

In 2026, ABF takes that mission further, returning to Miami during a historic week for America, as the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary and hosts the G20 Summit.

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.
