The two‑day conference features more than 200 speakers, including Leonardo Rangel, Antonio Augusto Santos, Gustavo Pagotto, Rodrigo Vaca and Samira Cardoso, covering topics such as AI‑driven demand generation, complex sales, digital transformation and revenue growth. The event offers a business fair, AI‑generated session summaries, matchmaking tools and tiered ticket options (Pass and VIP). Organized by the TD ecosystem, the summit aims to strengthen Brazil’s B2B ecosystem through knowledge exchange and networking.
