Talent Land Moves to Mexico City and Puts Artificial Intelligence at the Center of Its Program

Latin America's largest tech festival, Talent Land, is moving to Mexico City after eight years in Guadalajara. From April 7th to 9th, the ninth professional meeting will be held at Expo Santa Fe, completely focused on artificial intelligence. Over 30,000 people are expected to attend.

With just over a month to go before the start, the agenda is already practically full. A map of six territories. The proposal is structured across different venues, and while the Main Stage is the heart of the event and where the most avant-garde visions of the sector are shared, there are also six other 'themed lands,' each with its own stage and community: Developer Land focuses on technology development and programming. Business Land and Investor Land focus on strategy, entrepreneurship, and financial education. Creator Land explores creativity, design, and digital industries. Health Land is dedicated to technological advances in health. Future Land examines trends, education, and renewable energy. The program features over 500 conferences with more than 400 hours of active content across stages that will operate from morning until midnight. And this is something Talent Land, the meeting of technology professionals designed for those who want to learn, innovate, and create, knows very well. After eight consecutive editions in Guadalajara, the massive technology and professional development event is writing a new chapter in Mexico City (CDMX). This year, it will take place from April 7th to 9th at Expo Santa Fe, where for three days attendees can enjoy master classes, exhibitions, talks, workshops, competitions, and much more. For Iván Millán, the festival's director, the move implies stepping out of the comfort zone, although the reception from the capital's ecosystem has been a pleasant surprise. Most talks last 25 minutes, a format designed to maintain energy without sacrificing substance. AI: the theme of this edition. One of the most significant changes in this edition is how artificial intelligence is approached. There is no longer a dedicated space for the topic because it has become a cross-cutting axis that runs through every territory, every stage, and every conversation. The most highlighted novelty is TalentDNA, a platform that adapts each participant's journey based on their interests and professional goals, suggesting conference routes and connecting like-minded profiles among the thousands of attendees. What you can't miss. The festival goes beyond the auditorium. The Hackathon will be the axis of the competitive dynamics, with real challenges proposed by companies like Capital One, McDonald's, Fundación Coppel, and Grupo Salinas, and prizes of 100,000 pesos per track. Among the confirmed speakers are the science communicator Javier Santaolalla, the communicator Jordi Wild, the finance specialist Sofía Macías, and the entrepreneurship reference Marcus Dantus, among others. Participation of over 30,000 people is expected, with the backing of around 180 companies and allies from the technological and educational ecosystem. You can find different types of entrance tickets, and free access scholarships that will be available through some sponsors; the details are published on social networks and on their portal talent-land.mx. Speakers you have to listen to. Jordi Wild: Creator of The Wild Project, one of the most listened-to podcasts in Spain and Latin America, Jordi Wild has built a community of millions of followers through his direct, reflective, and provocative style. With over a decade on YouTube, he has interviewed scientists, athletes, artists, and public figures. Vilma Núñez: A Dominican consultant, content creator, author, and CEO specialized in digital marketing, sales, and online growth. She founded the group Convierte Más, which includes agencies, online schools, and software, and leads high-impact educational initiatives. Juan Lombada: Named by Forbes as one of the 30 promises of business in Mexico, Juan Lombana is an engineer in information technologies and one of the biggest references in digital marketing and artificial intelligence in the Hispanic world. His approach combines creativity, technology, and strategy to drive business growth. Roberto Martínez: A 31-year-old Mexican content creator born in Monterrey, Nuevo León. The technology sector is only growing and developing with each passing day. Artificial intelligence, language models, SEO positioning, and the way content is presented through digital design and strategies in 360-degree social media ecosystems are the pillars of the industry. Because of this, the spaces to share knowledge in this sector become fundamental. He has over 11 million followers and his work has been replayed over 3 billion times. At his young age, he has become one of the most important opinion leaders of his generation, creating various social projects, producing audiovisual content, in addition to being a software engineer and writer. He has published 3 national bestsellers. AI is the common language of the event today. That same logic also translates to the attendee experience.
