About CPR LATAM

Communications Policy Research Latin America (CPR LATAM) began as a cross-disciplinary academic network of research centers which sought to advance knowledge on the social, economic and political impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Americas.

Now as an annual international forum, CPR LATAM promotes the exchange of best practices and ideas around ICT policy in the region, examines specific cases of public-private partnerships for digital inclusion, and educates key stakeholders about the importance of investing in the modernization of ICT networks for sustainable development.

The CPR LATAM conference is an annual event that fosters exchange between relevant industry stakeholders to promote ICT development in Latin America.

In previous years, the conference has been held in Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Brasilia, Lima, Valparaiso, Oaxaca, Cancun, Cartagena, Varadero and Cordoba.

The 2024 edition will be held in Brasilia.

“When we look across the globe, and we look at internet use, adoption and benefits… having a fact-based conversation will move the needle.”
— Robert Pepper, VP of Global Connectivity and Technology Policy at Facebook, Keynote 2019
