Earlier this month our compliance compatriots in Latin America gathered in Argentina, for the 2013 Latin America Congress on Ethics, Transparency & Compliance. The event was held in Buenos Aires, and drew more than 200 compliance professionals. I attended the first annual LatAm Congress last year and learned quite a bit about compliance issues in that part of the world, and I recommend the event highly to anyone in South America who wants some professional networking.  

This year I could not attend, but my spies in Buenos Aires did send a few photos of the conferenceโ€”looks like a lively and successful time, and the organizers (especially Gustavo Regner at BDO Argentina, the man to know for compliance issues in that country) deserve a round of congratulations.
