AI Salon Rio #18
AI Salon Rio Year-End Happy Hour
This year, AI Salon Rio put a lot on stage. A brand-new stock exchange. A healthtech playbook. Invest.Rio. The man who built Brazil’s bridge to Silicon Valley. The largest applied AI research center in Latin America. Two VCs and a term sheet....
(Plus a world-champion robotics team from São Gonçalo. Honestly, hard to top.)
So for the last Salon of 2026, the room goes on stage.
Join the AI Salon Rio Year-End Happy Hour: a closing party for everyone who made this year happen, and everyone who wants in on the next one.
One more thing is new: for the first time, there is a ticket.
R$30. Symbolic, on purpose. What it really does is fill the room with the right people: the ones who will actually show up, and who believe as much as we do that Rio can become the AI capital of Latin America.
The night is still heavily subsidized by our partners Visagio, AWS Startups and Instituto 12. Your ticket covers a small fraction of it.
Come toast a year of Rio building in AI.
Come finally talk to the person you kept nodding at across the room all year.
Come start 2027 early.
AI Salon Rio is not an event, it’s a movement.
