With great excitement and determination we announce the arrival of the fifth edition of ¡Womenize Latam! This year the Barranquilla edition is the meeting point, designed especially for women who want to acquire knowledge, establish business connections, do business or find job opportunities. Our goal is to provide a nurturing and diverse environment where women can grow personally and professionally.

This annual event aims to foster the connection and development of talent in women who stand out in the fields of technology, video games and digital business. In addition, it promotes the vision of transforming an area traditionally led by men into one that is more inclusive and oriented towards female empowerment.

Behind this revolutionary event are the leading entrepreneurs in the information and communication technology sector, Cymetria Group, and the influential magazine Gamers-On, with 15 years of experience in the industry. This meeting will take place next Tuesday, November 21, 2023, in a hybrid format that will allow the participation of women from all over Latin America. Our virtual meeting point will be on the Discord platform, while the in-person headquarters will be at the prestigious Hotel del Prado in the city of Barranquilla.
