We are back to offering our 1 day Latin America Market Awareness (LAMA) courses in person, again with our team of experts from The University of Auckland Business School.
The LAMA workshop targets New Zealand business practitioners who want to strengthen their existing Latin America capability, as well as those who have exported to other markets and now want to enter this region.
The workshops will be interactive, aimed at helping you identify areas of focus, develop and refine ideas, and discuss how those ideas can be turned into action.
There is no fee to participate in the workshops.
