About eMerge Americas

eMerge Americas in the premier technology event connecting Latin America, North America & Europe. It is a unique convening of global enterprises, leading startups and government leaders focused on innovative digital solutions transforming industries.

Thousands will embark on the eMerge journey in 2018. For some, the path leads directly to WIT (Women, Innovation & Technology). For others, it’s the Startup Showcase that brings them to Miami. But it’s the unexpected moments that make the journey worthwhile. The chance conversation with a key investor. The panel discussion that sparks an idea. At eMerge, there’s always something more to explore.
