Brazil - Portuguese Session · Austin, TX

​Most conversations at SXSW happen on stage, in front of thousands, with no room for the real questions.

​This one is different.

​Connecting the Americas is a private, curated gathering for innovation leaders held during SXSW week in Austin — intentionally small, deliberately off-stage, and designed for the conversations that actually shape decisions.

​On March 12, we open with a candid one-on-one session conducted in Portuguese for Brazilian founders and executives expanding into the U.S. market.

​The conversation: Ed Trevis, founder of Corvalent, built and scaled an industrial technology company in the United States over 40 years — navigating every wave of disruption from analog hardware to cloud to AI. He moved operations from Silicon Valley to Texas, more than doubled revenue, received the Best Business Award from the Governor of Texas, and was recently appointed advisor to the Central Texas Spaceport Development Corporation alongside Firefly Aerospace. No slides. No keynote polish. Just what actually worked — and what didn't.

​Moderated by Antonio Alves, founder of The Cloud Circle, angel investor in 20+ startups, and architect of the Brazilian-American tech ecosystem in Austin.

​This is not a panel you watch. It's a conversation you're part of.
