Hispanic-Net Annual Banquet
December 2007
Mitch Posada — Keynote Address

"Just wanted to reach out to everyone (all 170+ of you) who attended the Hispanic-Net dinner. All of you - wonderful, witty, impressive, accomplished and good looking too. I was genuinely moved by how thrilled Alicia Morga was to receive her award - she had her sisters and family there and it was quite a moment. Enrique Salem thoroughly charmed me with his acceptance speech. Mitch Posada was the Hispanic Steve Jobs as he gave a funny, smart and attention grabbing keynote on the huge investment and entrepreneurial opportunities in the Hispanic demographic. Finally, my great thanks to Joel Dreyfuss who brought his insight, quick wit and light touch as Master of Ceremonies.
Wow!" - Margarita Quihuis, Chairman & President Hispanic-Net.

Latin America: Challenges & Opportunities
SD Forum SIG – Entrepreneurship July 2007
Mitch Posada – Co-Producer & Moderator

"The panel was well balanced between entrepreneurs and investors.
Moderator Mitch Posada had fine rapport with the panel. Solana
Crawford provided the Argentine/design side, Matt Perez the
offshore/outsourcing/Mexico and Sergio Montsalve the investor. In
addition Nathalie Eisner of IDC presented research data that created a
base on which to build a greater understanding prior to the panel
presentation. David Thomas, Intel Capital, was unable to attend given
a delayed flight. The Q&A was very lively indeed with contributions
from Sergio Perez, Jorge Zavala of TechBA and many others that added so much to our learning curve”.
